Grave thoughts

 
This is for friends who think that life is just a burden to be endured, that all problems must vanish, that to rest is bliss.
I offer the alternative:

Grave thoughts
Here in my loneliness
I am idle, finally at rest.
I don't fret, no one bothers me,
No problems to solve-- for eternity. 
-- Willian the Henry                            
NOTE:
A townmate to Mark Twain, who was on a sentimental journey to Hannibal: "Mr. Clemens, I was born close to your birthplace in Florida, and have been in the house where you were born, often."
Twain: "I was not born often --only once, but I'm glad to see you, all the same."

Thanks. It's been a while. My mind is on a blink for months now, and I can't seem to have the old molecule of a brain cell get to emit intelligible combinations of alphabets. I'm glad you're going full steam. :)))
