IMMORTALITY

I dreamt of immortality
As a tiny child
Scared of death
Loving life

My wish not to die
Took me away
To many corners
Of the world

The thought of death
Drew me towards science
Endless deities
Calling for my soul

I wished to be
A common god
Living in heaven
Forever and ever

Of the immortal beings
Inhabiting legends
I envied their longevity
And exciting lives

You might wonder
Whether not dying
Has been a dream
For a fleeting soul

I’ve found a solution
To my love of life
And peace of mind
For my poor heart

Freeze my body
Keep it fresh
It won’t decay
Within a tank

Through the eons
Time might find me
Undying eyes
Looking at the world
