Summary

It reminds us that as mortal beings, our time on Earth is limited, but the impact of poetry continues to persist beyond the boundaries of time and death. Poetry, as an art form, allows us to express our emotions, thoughts, and experiences in a way that transcends our temporary existence, enabling future generations to connect with our words and find solace, inspiration, and understanding in them.
