Analysis of Never Old!



I will never be OLD!
Though my Body grow cold.
I will Age; I will Aged see,
But Old, I will never be.
No Mountain, no Forest, no Ocean am I,
To watch the Centuries or Millennia drift by...

We will Age and Aged we shall be,
But never live long enough to see,
Centuries or Millennia drift by like the Sea.

Life's existence cannot sustain
The Years to match a Mountain.
Perish every Human notion,
To live so long as any Ocean.
Ancient Forests given Humans in Trust,
To that Earth Humans return as its Dust.
