The epilogue
is the heart
of the matter

the prelude
spoke only
in fragments

all said and done
the epilogue
is the all-in-all

the story
has been told

no more
the longing
the loving
the hating
the wanting
the wishing
the hoping
the waiting
the doubting
the suffering

the last poignant song
has been sung
the symphony
ends with rapture

All beginnings
converge at the end
no more words
need to be said

a new epoch
is resurrected
from the debris
of the past

and what follows is
stillness
silence
calm
illumination
the stoic mind
and humble acceptance

no more tears
shall be shed again

the end is
more poignant than
the beginning

prelude
ends
with
epilogue

this is the last resolution
nothing else.
