Immortals


I see something that stands tall for thousands of years,
I see something that stands weathered in rains and thunders of time,
I see something holding ground forever,
I accept, it has to be cosmic.

And then, I begin to pray to it,
I wish I could be like it,
And for matters dear to my heart,
I lock my faith in it.

Today as I stand here,
and see this wall aged more than two thousand years,
I realize the immense affinity of humans towards the immortals.

Immortals - legends or gods or just the walls,
Immortals - sun and moon or just the stars,
Immortals - that make us happy or leave us scars,
We like them, we pray them,
and we make them the guardians of our fate !!
