Immortality

Mortal are us human kind seeking peace with baited 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.

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.

Hello Paghunda ... Immortality is for the young, but as they go through life, reality changes them to mortals - thank you Paghunda - Lindsay

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.

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

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

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

Up until 2020 when, to Trump's great surprise, history did indeed repeat itself! Aloha! Rico
