Girl Immortal
"I have immortal longings in me. "
Quote _William Shakespeare
I have often wished to be immortal,
and to exist in a life enduring;
to find that perpetual realm and portal,
and to be constantly world touring.
Oh yes I would be a girl deathless,
my life going on and on ever long-lasting;
penning words and rhyming endless,
things I would see leaving me breathless.
my seconds, minutes, hours everlasting,
but would I exist in a world friendless !
My beauty would be never-ending,
from century to century living a life timeless;
but my past sorrow would also be unending,
often penning words dark and rhyme-less.
Filling pages, and pages, and pages in a journal,
I could never stay too long in any place;
from country to country to country gliding,
I imagine a life lived nocturnal.
At times feeling the need to hide my face,
who wants an existence that involves hiding !
So considering all I will remain me,
accepting that years will make me frail;
I now think that living life full is the key,
accepting that my beauty will in time pale.
But, I have the power to make words eternal,
for I am blessed with the God given gift of words;
and the gift of painting and photography sublime,
so wishes for immortality I will keep internal.
My words and poems will fly like birds,
and will forever and ever future souls entwine !
"What would be the use of immortality to a
person who cannot use well half an hour."
Quote _ Ralph Waldo Emerson
