Immortal

*This poem is supposed to be an image of a redwood tree with these words carved on it. Unfortunately, I don't have the image present*

If nothing
ever comes
of my life
but words
on a parched
piece of wood,
I will not
ask why-
for this life
still has
very few
ways to live
forever;
This is one.

Oh yes. Everyone wants to leave a piece of themselves behind. Something for the future generations to remember them by. A piece of art, a sheet of music, a few words of wisdom. But in the end, Is that what you really want? For them to remember just that a

I'll post the pic as soon as I upgrade my membership and finish constructing the image. It's not a real picture because I'm not one for actually stabbing a tree as great as a redwood- but I like the idea.
