endings

To be is to 
Eventually no longer

Be.

No beginning

Offers travel forever forward.

To never end

Is to have never begun.

These thoughts and words and lines

As well

Build only to a time

Of turning silent

And continuing no more.

To come in

Is to have once gone out.

To leave

Is to have once arrived.

To go down

Reminds of having gone up.

To wake

Is to have been asleep.

A sunrise

Foretells a sunset.

And a dried flower -

Once a gift in bloom -

Tells

That there's no living

Without having to,

At some time,

Accept giving it all up
...And leave.
