Immortality
“I don’t believe in personal immortality; the only way I expect to
have some version of such a thing is through my books.”
-Issac Asminov
With age, thoughts turn to life’s totality,
and death, the sign of its finality.
To live forever, our mentality,
and yet to die, a factuality.
I say to you, it is reality,
our poetry’s our immortality.
“Once we place our thoughts upon the page,
they will last forever.”
