Ode to the Last Page

Who can write a chapter's end

Or have the final word

Who can say the perfect line

And play the final chord

Flip a book onto it's back

Turn one page to the left

Feast your eyes, for their it waits

The only page that's left

The page that can reveal it all

Or leave us hanging, stunned

The page that we're all waiting for

Like the setting of the sun

What if it's more than we imagined?

Or what if it lets us down?

Will evil's struggle win at last?

Will happiness abound?

All thoughts rest on the final page

The closing, ending, night

It's influential, powerful

And most difficult to write

Today another closing page

Will have its final say

And leave the thoughts of great last words

Until another day.
