Immortality and Life

You are alive

And susceptible no doubt.

To the worries and woes

The pains and the pouts.

You are also vulnerable

To love, joy, belonging, and laughter.

And everything in between

For you to take in, in wild rapture.

There will come a time

To move beyond into the infinite unknown

And savor and relish the birthplace of it all.

I think this may be how the great sages thrived

Pendulating between immortality and life.

Bow to the land, the water, the hills

Remember the parts of you that can never be killed.
