The End
Gelene M. Beverly 1979 (Dayton)
A time when light fades,
All good things
Now coming to an end.
Sight begins to dim,
Sunset...
Feeling ceases to exist
Only stillness over all.
Trading consciousness,
For silence,
Recompense...
The stars of night glow
Traces of eternity
All memories and worry gone,
Forgotten.
An angel of light guides
Across the final bridge to
The end.
