Immortal
By Chameleon
*This poem is supposed to be an image of a redwood tree with these words
carved on it. Unfortunately, I don't have the image present*
If nothing
ever comes
of my life
but words
on a parched
piece of wood,
I will not
ask why-
for this life
still has
very few
ways to live
forever;
This is one.

everyone feels the way this piece reflects at one point or another. I think its just in our human phsyce to want to leave a legacy to future generations upon our departure from this mortal world.**

...And yes, I think those were my exact words in this piece...how could I possibly say it any clearer?

Since that was a question happy, here's an answer: If they were my words, then they are a part of me. Each time someone read them they would be reliving a piece of myself...besides, there is a deeper message of contentment here...for life as it is.

I'll post the pic as soon as I upgrade my membership and finish constructing the image. It's not a real picture because I'm not one for actually stabbing a tree as great as a redwood- but I like the idea.
