FastSaying

This world
that was our home
for a brief spell
never brought us anything
but pain and grief;
its a shame that not one of our problems
was ever solved.
We depart
with a thousand regrets
in our hearts.

Omar Khayyám

A Flask of Wine, a Book of Verse - and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness -
