The End

We expect that everything will end with a great big BANG!

For that is how the universe began

With an explosion of anything that would become anything

And so we assume that this world, too, will end with one

A great big BANG!

Rattling the very stars we seek to reach

The stars that will mourn our extinction

But this is not what happens

What happens is something, and then nothing

Like shutting a book,

The characters trapped within the pages,

Gone

In the blink of an eye

As if they never existed in the first place

A light, snuffed out in a dark room,

Just as when the universe began

We do not know how our light will leave us

We do not know how the end will come

But we owe it to ourselves to keep going

To keep moving forward

Until we find our End
