Not one of my best. It's a sonnet--I think. |
| Though all were born to die, some mock their fate and by the gift of frost are sealed away Entombed in chill serenity, to wait their breath of life, the youth of golden days Their only trust, in science true and cold In logic’s fair and austere law of stone And, riding on a wave of newborn gold someday surpass their native blood and bone Their heaven is to span an ageless day yet fear the yawning dark beyond the tomb Remade like ancient fabric when it frays And ever dancing steps away from doom Eternal life their vision above all Forever, like a timeless siren’s call |
