The End

the end of laughter, always echoing
the end of summer's season beckoning
the end of arrows; soaring glances
the end of first and second dances
the end of manic depression lies
the end of heart attack surprise
the end of fires in daylight's slumber
the end of dreams (now thrown asunder)
the end of cheerful and morose
and for me, it's all too close.
