Curtain down, <br />can disappoint, <br />can give relief; <br />sunset, sundown. <br /> <br />Hears last post, <br />sees a finality, <br />going to sleep, <br />a truce in war. <br /> <br />Phone put down, <br />the lights go out, <br />a sigh, a laugh, <br />a conclusion. <br /> <br />Final whistle, <br />all goodbyes <br />door closes <br />story finishes. <br /> <br />An explosion, <br />a books last page, <br />an empty cup, <br />a graduation. <br /> <br />Leaves falling, <br />petals dropping, <br />bus stopping, <br />kettle boiling. <br /> <br />A funeral, a requiem, <br />a grave, a tomb, <br />an epitaph, a loss, <br />the last full stop.<br /><br />Bob Blackwell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/end-19/
