Immortal Idols Poem by Joyce Rugg

Immortal Idols



You're chasing immortality,
But it's not in fleeting fame,
Nor in works of art
As we forget the masters' names

You'd love to believe
That you'll live forever
But history forgets you
once your soul is severed

Your intent is foolish
You're ageless, can't you see?
The earth will honor your death
With a new growth of green

Its only Life, and in the end, no matter who we were...we are all the same...a return to where we were made. Powerful close-out places a poetic exclamation point on this pen-gem ~FjR~
