After so much words are spoken,

the time of silence , at last, arrrives.

Silence , all pervading like darkness

deep and flawless, erasing all words

that were said , or were left unsaid.

This is the way alll endings begin

and are repeated all over again.

To postpone the inevitable calm

by the routine of our daily lives

does not change the ultimate outcome.

It just makes the shadows longer

and the race more tiring .
