Immortality Is Fanciful

Like antique china that slips through clumsy fingertips Shattered into tiny fragments Unrepairable, unreplaceable A blameless mistake It's beauty disintegrates Never to be appreciated again By future enthusiasts Like a daisy tweaked from the vast landscape Once admired by all that stumbled upon it Basking in the summer sun Life dragged from its roots Crippled at its fragile stem It will never grow again Petals float onto a zephyr Carried away to where distant memories lie Like A man surrounded by family, promises, All snatched spontaneously away. that love that encapsulates him At first a void remains, as his memory lives on Until it becomes so vague It inevitably expires
