Stand as I do, unageing
Whilst around me
All withers and dies
Changing, moving on without me
Whilst I stand unchanged
Unable to evolve, adapt.

I'm as old as the mountains.
Older than the trees.
Ancient as the river.
And now so out of place
In this new world.

I long for death to release me:
She is gone, I still live
The pain which is life
Yet nothing will help me.

I envied her, so young
So full of life and springtime:
The essence of mortality.

I will never feel that.
And it haunts me.
