How Much Does Forever Cost?

Daily writing prompt
Where would you go on a shopping spree?

If I could buy anything with money,
I would buy eternal love.

Something that would allow me
to hold memories forever,
to capture feelings exactly as they were.

My body might suffer
from the exhaustion of sustaining such a system,
but still,
I crave the energy of everlasting love.

Can one truly live without love?

It was my children
who awakened within me
the meaning of love.
They were my greatest teachers
in this lifetime.

To carry my memories of them forever—
that would be my most precious gift.

Nothing would be more painful
or heartbreaking
than having the data of my soul reset.

People live their lives
as if this lifetime were their last,
or as if they might live forever.
Yet human life is but a fleeting moment.

In the journey we’ve walked,
what impact have we truly made?

Is there anything lighter
than a life lived in vain?

Buying things
is an endless thirst of desire.
A mirage in an endless desert,
something that can never be truly filled.

Real fulfillment comes
from the growth and wisdom
that blossoms within.

It is an energy,
data engraved eternally
into my soul.
