Lindsay Laurie Poet Rhyme

Immortality

Mortal are us human kind
seeking peace with bated breath.
Immortality imparts the mind
to believe there is no death.
Immortality is really history …
writings from the then times wealth.
Replayed in a similar mode
as history repeats itself.
Each tiny fraction of the puzzle,
is ancient generations text,
leads the way to consider
what right now is needed next …
Each year reaches new horizons,
the past has been addressed -
and we live our life believing,
our time is the very best.

Paghunda Zahid August 8, 2020 at 4:59 PM When kids when admire adults. But as adults after realizing the ugly realities (esp of life & death), we don't merely start adulthood, we start hating this world. Lindsay Laurie August 11, 2020 at 8:07 PM Hello Paghunda ... Immortality is for the young, but as they go through life, reality changes them to mortals - thank you Paghunda - Lindsay

Jennifer Proxenos August 6, 2020 at 11:13 AM We think we are immortal until one of your very loved parents dies in your arms. My dad died in my arms and my mom in Elias's - we have to come to terms with death, I realize this so very deeply in my being, but I must say although I am a true Greek Orthodox and a believer, death scares me! I loved your poem Lindsay, you write so beautifully Blessings, Jennifer. Lindsay Laurie August 11, 2020 at 8:04 PM Hello Jennifer ... we are all mortal, but it takes what you went through to really understand that it will affect us at some stage - thank you once again Jennifer - Lindsay

Phyllis Babcock August 5, 2020 at 4:06 PM When young you never think about death but as you grow you learn that history seems to repeat and there are lessons to be learned from the past. love phyl Lindsay Laurie August 11, 2020 at 8:01 PM Hello Phyllis ... I believe we must live through tragedies and heartbreaks to learn these lessons, so until you do, it's hard to understand - thank you Phyllis - Lindsay
