The Quest For Immortality
The Quest For Immortality
To eternally shut age and frailty’s door
Avert the fate to which we’re doomed
That we may be, and never be of yore;
All mortals’ phantasm from times of old
So, do not waste on the inconsequential
That, in which great possibilities abound
Neither ever shackle your true potential
And your faculties, err to utterly exploit
That which is fleeting may not be saved
That which may be saved is not fleeting
And that, which all mortals have craved
Is never in an elixir to be bought by gold
But, if excellence in any passion you may
Bestows greatness above most mortals
Though you will return to the Earth’s clay
You may forever live in pages and minds.
