Beginnings And Endings Poem by Kevin Maroney

A pebble falls from the cliff, running to its conclusion,
Dust it picks up in their confusion,
And as its contours become stiff, attempting to halt the contusion,
A boulder waits silently to ponder.

An atom pulls slowly from the misty haze,
Fiery surface no longer in its gaze,
As peers gather round and upon his mass laze,
He settles in to wait.

A drop follows some descent upon the sandy hills,
Into a hollow it rides, dragged by forces to fill,
And in the dark, deep worlds beyond conscious thought,
It simply waits and stills.

In the darkness a creature waits as a sole survivor,
As the weight of invisibility settle down around his shoulders.
