Everything Ends
By Kristin Smith
A river flows steadily to the end
As it joins the ocean
The lion expels his last roar
As the hyenas stand laughing
A pot of gold waits at the end of the rainbow
As the rainbow shines after the last drop of rain
Popcorn is finished
As the end of a movie is reached
Hearts are saddened
As friendships end
Many weep
As a life has ended
A sigh of relief is taken
As a war ends
A poem is completed
As the poet runs out of ideas
