life is temporary, so temporary that it is like something br that you see br and then don't because it has escaped like slippery water from br the hold of your hands, br ephemeral br like a mist, like a fuming vapor from boiling water, br like an air that merely passes by your gaze br like the wind br that comes and goes away from your window br like a cloud that drifts br away from your roof, like a leaf that falls from a tree, br like a flower that blooms today br and tomorrow goes away in the wilting petals br life is so temporary like the ticking of the clock br that you hear at night br when again you cannot sleep br this is life br this is my life it is so temporary br and with all my heart br i will hand it to you as a gift br take it br take it br br do you think that my life now exends your life? br do you think that you with my life can live a litlle longer? br br take it br take it br it is all yours br br because i still love you because i have long been dead in this pain br of you br not loving me despite....br br RIC S.
