The End

sorenbarrett

 

When the fire has burnt out and the coals grown cold

After the last shout and the last story is told

The book is shut, the tale faded to dreams

Thread of the past cut, a fantasy it seems

From the ashes a spark lifts and flies

A glow that flashes, then dies in one's eyes

        Your poem "The End" explores the themes of mortality, the fleeting nature of life and memories, and the inevitable conclusion of experiences. It reflects on how stories and moments come to an end, leaving behind only memories and echoes of what once was.
