The Mortal and the Immortal

a tale of the broken

By raven fisherPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

there comes a day

in everyone’s life

when they reach the peak

of their existence

when they realize the difference

between life and death

when they fully understand

that life is fleeting

eventually we will all be forgotten

nothing but remnants of people

who used to be

nothing but mortal remains

of our immortal souls

no one to recount the tears we cried

the wars we raged

or the love we gave

not a single person to remember our names

for some reason that brings me solace

we should all find comfort in the fact

that nothing even matters

sad poetry
