IN A QUEST FOR IMMORTALITY



I mourn
The loss of countless words
That once breathed free
Within me
Some to blessed sleep
Some to broken strands
On neural pathways
Of memory

Yet more I lost
To the unruly chaos
That is often named
As life
They struggled
To escape anonymity
Martyrs
Of a futile strife

It’s true
That I caught thousands
In ink
Yet millions more did fall
Into the caverns of living
Unsung,
Never to be captured
In my scrawl


MS
