Transcendental Sonnet #1085:
If Only a Sigh
for Silke
There has been enough of complaining
And it never helps anyway
I know it is hopeless explaining
And learned it again yesterday
It is time to be entertaining
For that is what is wanted now
Might as well laugh before we all die
Might as well find the joke somehow
Find our lost laugh we know how to cry
Have the last laugh if only a sigh
Our enemies are dying just as we
They never understand us but someday
As tiresome time and tide bear them away
They'll watch us rise on wings of destiny
