//------------------------------// // The End // Story: Meaningless in Their Dreams // by Briarpelt //------------------------------// So you see, it all will end, Sister, teacher, love, or friend. Someday, we will all pass on It won't matter what is gone. Someday, even sun will die. Everyone must say goodbye. In the end, it's all for naught As all will someday be forgot. Shadows, light and misery Death within each family tree. People come, and people go Some leave quickly, others slow. Every change brings death, of kind Death of friendship, death of mind. Even sorrow dies, one day When our joy moves in to stay. Words like tears fall on the page In the spotlight, center stage. Everyone hides their true face Searching for a better place. Sorrow is a part of life, Everyone will know some strife. But if you keep an open heart, Happiness will not depart. Grow a garden of your past Keep it safe, and it will last. Plant new seeds when they arrive, And your wholeness will survive.
