Best Immortality Poems

Upon waking up this day, a single tear
Father your eternal immortality 
Still proves wise and gracious
I haven’t been misled by popular opinion
Which should be taken with a grain of salt
You showed me how to expose the counterfeits 
who foster misperceptions,
Which have shaped our faith
How to...

To live forever! Think how it might be!
Oh Fount of Youth more prized than all earth’s gold.
To be as ancient gods and not grow old!
To banish all disease and see death flee
before the face of immortality!
With less to dread, would we become more bold?
Alas, the...

Your house still smells like you:
Warm shortbread and lavender soap -
Comforting and agonizing.
Your plants still bloom,
Perched beside the window
Where the kettle waits to be filled.
But your rocking chair is still
And all is quiet.

I could have fallen to pieces
Like a hand-blown vase
Hurled against green walls 
Or...

The poet dies, but does not die
if he has left a line
black inked upon enduring page
or lingered on the mind.

With no thought than to see it grow,
the gardener plants a tree,
his immortality assured,
by shade for posterity.

A way to prove that we were here,
a child in...

Life Fled As I Sought Yet Another Day,
( verses born from the illusion of immortality, 1977) 
Part One

As I went beyond that black veil,
Having trod this earth and seen hell,
I look back while daring to say,
" Life fled as I sought yet another day."

have some version of such a thing is through my books.”

RAINDROPS OF IMMORTALITY

Smiles were stolen from me long time ago
Days gone gray as storms rush to play: my...
They drain. Fervently, I called to the Heavens 
but it seems no one there. No one there!

I lullaby with the whine of gushing winds,
hoping they are kind enough...

If I were immortal I’d wish to be
An Earth angel who sets those in chains free
I’d enter every evil person’s heart 
Putting a stop to wars before they start.

If I were immortal no one would weep
I’d spread happiness whilst the broken sleep
I accept partings come...

Immortality

Thinking of all those nights
When we sang songs and shared dreams
Believing each of our life’s tunnels glimmered lights
Caresses me with uni-verse’s dazzling beams.

I have not lost it all since you were gone
I feel you in the communion of the galaxies
I know it’s not all foregone
Somewhere,...

the older we are
the more invisible by far
we seem to the younger mind
but soon they will see
what’s known by you and me
we’re only immortal for a limited time

This wise old bulk twined and furled self mended throughout
She shows me her bark churning scars inside out 
Sage sentry    her silver green cascade caressing the blue
I plop on her half felled limb to pick gum from my shoe
Broken some storm ago...

IMMORTALITY

When you look into your daughter’s brown eyes 
And see  the eyes of your own mother long gone
But  still smiling there,   and understand that she
Too will hear  something of you in her own son’s sighs;

When you pass a bearded hobo...

Mark

The earth turns its face from you
as if ashamed. You
who tilled the soil, now marked
by what the soil received.
Your brother's blood—
how it murmurs, how it screams.
Deafness would be a mercy.

Wanderer

At Babel, you watch them build
their tongues a discordance of hope.
You know better.
The tower falls. Always,...

Once, we had unlimited fun
Until life’s duties had us on a run 
Memories consumed us old, 
yet, for new experiences we jump
Please, do not cry, while I die
I rather you not lie
Time so scarce, you never said goodbye

As you reminisce great times awake 
I take...
