Curtain down,
can disappoint,
can give relief;
sunset, sundown.
Hears last post,
sees a finality,
going to sleep,
a truce in war.
Phone put down,
the lights go out,
a sigh, a laugh,
a conclusion.
Final whistle,
all goodbyes
door closes
story finishes.
An explosion,
a books last page,
an empty cup,
a graduation.
Leaves falling,
petals dropping,
bus stopping,
kettle boiling.
A funeral, a requiem,
a grave, a tomb,
an epitaph, a loss,
the last full stop.
