The End..... And The Beginning Poem by Jack Smith

The end of the dark night...
the beginning of a blue dawn

The end of all things seen...
the beginning of a future unknown

The end of blinding lights...
the beginning of a flame within

The end of days forlorn...
the beginning of tears of laughter

The end of hope unseen...
the beginning of the glorious return

The end of all wandering...
the beginning of a rest eternal

The end of all want...
the beginning of a heart content

The end of a thirst unquenchable...
the beginning of a hunger fed

The end of him, as him...
the beginning of them, for them

The end of death in life...
the beginning of life through death

The end of all end...
the beginning of all things new
