Endings

Endings are fine as far as they go,

Like the end of a schedule for a three year blog!

Endings for readers, it’s best not to know,

With some too obscure to see through the fog.

You can annul, you can stop, cease or finish;

Cancel dissolve or annihilate.

You can bring to an end or draw to a close,

Wind up, conclude or terminate.

The concept of complete finality

Is awesome and second to none.

Like a moth flying into a flame

Or a snowman left out in the sun.

When the last domino falls,

When all is said and done,

To be silly, it’s better to be at the end of a poem

Than at the end of a gun.

To consider a paradise lost,

With an end to all hopes and dreams,

But with happier tales in books, shows and movies,

They all have to end it seems.

To see the hourglass’s sand ebb away.

To watch as the stars lose their glow.

To be present when the last clock stops…

Then, endings are fine, as far as they go!
