The Portal Poem by james d nall,jr

Through the looking glass
There does lie
Young children all over the world
Asking, WHY?
We're all seeking answers to
Our questions
Eagerly seeking out any
Suggestions
Dreaming as we look deep
In the portal
Wondering about those said
To be immortal
Are our lives nothing but
A page
Possibly written by a simple
Sage
Or could it be that all is
Really mortal
That long ago we stepped through
The Portal
Giving up our coveted
Immortality
To become more human
Like you and me
