An immortal

From where did he come? Was he birthed? And what were his parents like? Or did he burst forth from a strobe of light? How many forms can he take? How does his mind not break? A flower chases daylight Moss hides in the night And what does a sentient being think When stuck in such a plight? Does time tic on, like a beating drum? Every second like a taiko strum He's not really a plant, for he knows he can't die, he's a sentient form of life and can't experience the true meaning of dying as a plant. What if he's now a rock? In a bed of sediment, does his conscience drift, and wonder where time went? Does he interact with mankind? He's more like a thing , that's alive, it doesn't breathe and has no heart beat, its nothing we can grasp, this immortal man, nothing as nothing can.
