Immortal

"Death is no option for me! -
I shall live through all eternity!",
said a man, wrinkled and old
but full of hope and very bold.

He wanted to live,
he wanted to thrive
but he could not find the hidden key,
behind the old and withered tree.

But how could it hide itself from the obsessed,
for it was his only quest,
and when he found the golden pond,
he took a sip and felt a bond.

He could feel new life in his veins;
his new and exceptional gains.
So he left in big and happy strides,
to see the world without downsides.

He saw mother nature in all her glory,
met many people and learned their story.
He even married a beautiful wife,
and got a daughter in his life.

But their lives were not forever,
because they were not immortal whatsoever.
He grieved and he cried,
and in his sadness, he wished he died.

Yet, his wish was not fulfilled,
because he was still unwilled.
For deep inside his mind,
his wish to live has not resigned.

So he walked alone the endless path,
to escape his inner wrath.
He forgot his sadness and his pain,
and started to build his own domain.

Many centuries have gone by,
as he looked at the blue sky.
He sighed and closed his eyes,
to enjoy his eternal prize.
