Epilogue

Epilogue

The problem with endings,
they lead to new starts;
beginnings can’t be trusted,
they carry no guarantee.
But endings are old friends,
familiar and warm,
they speak of the past,
the work completed,
the task achieved.
There’s no confrontation,
no sudden surprises,
all finished and nostalgia
can paint the memory
with the best of the days
and the titans defeated.
The end is for enjoyment,
for relaxation and rest,
for final words like
accomplishment and
achievement and done.
Savour the day and
bask in the light,
it doesn’t last long,
for tomorrow stands waiting
just one question to ask -
What are you going to do now?
