Yes And when all the opera's end, and all All FFL's crowd has dimmed, When Golden Dome's wings are left to Be empty, and our stories are all done, We may sing a last eulogy and force it on Robin's raven wing, so that to the night, the Shining moon would cry with a wolf. The tears of a Rose would douse a flame which could not be quenched. The rotting of words, it too bicuspid Opulence could streak a frown across the Horizon with its somber, dismal inks Drowning all passion thick, all zeal Tore and cast to the wind of all prudence- Thorns of roses piercing our dreadful heart So throughout the night the stars will sing to Our emptybill's praises with more fervor than the now Closed opus: Yet a light will creep over us, Opened ways within us, we weep more Recognizing our solitude in our partners. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "emptybill" <emptybill@...> wrote: > > > Robin > > Don't despair.
