Maybe it's not so much the Tree of Life as a theme on its own, but rather the Tree of Life in combination with the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil? I'm not 100% sure how to answer the question, but it is a really great question. I mean in terms of why it was written that way maybe to reiterate the point that the lives we live here, with the knowledge we gained, was never meant to be permanent, so much so that God cast man out of Eden before they could become immortal.
