Is There?

Is there ever a good ending?

Is it not that endings bring grief?

Is it not that joy eludes these?

I give you this

Summer endings are the most rogue

Winter’s have a grace of the untold

Spring’s are sudden and brief

Autumn’s are kind and sweet

What is to be gained?

If endings all put eternity into shame?

Well, they do not.

Endings bring creation into play

Allow the joy of youth to plummet those of age

And most welcomed ones of the summer’s day

Life puts beauty in another way

Gives it a kindness to soften the grey

Let’s winter deal with what’s at stake

And gives Autumn its most valuable say

As of Spring,

Ever so slightly, creation gives it a sting

For its timeous days hold us an abode

In a most tranquil decay

Give way to a new horizon

And put aside your grievances

Give haste to joy for tomorrow’s could be youth’s way ◆
