ISonnetj Oh how you could easily have told me no. I think perhaps I would've preferred it so. For days my brains have toiled to find the ways, And for nights my mind has swirled in endless haze T'was known from the beginning what your answer would be, Yet, I hoped that you would surely disappoint me. For what is life if one already knows his destiny? Life is such a bore with sole purity and no impurity. When I first touched you, you became so inviting That I saw and felt my hopes at once shattering. So go your way and forever let me go, For the love I want from you can never be so. Robert Ferguson Such Is Manic Life Have you ever noticed the branches on a tree, How they waver, and are blown by the wind? And yet, if they are not cut off, Then shall they be As that treeis rootsg There, for as long the earth beneath them lastsg Or for as long a time as life allows them to pass Such is the condition of manis life, Always changing with the hands of time. . Lasting, feeding, subject to Any natural and physical strife. Until finally, at last, it goes, Leaving its marks and memories behind. Robert Ferguson A Thought 1' You Fo Isn't life complicated? Yet aren't you really fascinated By the fact everything is related - Even the things which are most hated? Life holds so much for both you and I, Yet not one of us can really rely On good fortune, which we canat buy. For no one really knows just why or when he must die. So while the sun still shines, And man still finds The secrets to mysteries we hold in our minds, Enjoy your life, for its only one of many kinds. Robert Ferguson
