Eternal Life.
Eternal life, a dream so grand,
A quest for immortality, a journey to withstand.
Through time and space, we seek the key,
To unlock the secret, to live eternally.
We search for youth, in elixirs rare,
In the depths of science, in the depths of prayer.
We long for more, than just a breath,
To live forever, to escape death.
But what of the cost, of living on,
The weight of memories, the pain that's gone.
The loved ones lost, in the sands of time,
The memories fading, the memories of a lifetime.
Eternal life, a curse or a gift,
A blessing or a burden, a decision to shift.
To live forever, to see it all,
The beauty and the horror, the rise and the fall.
So let us cherish, the life we have,
For eternity, is a heavy lad.
Let us make our mark, in the time we have,
For life is fleeting, like the petals of a flower, so fragile and sad.
