The Beginning

the end. beginning again. take refuge in its arrival.
its sure arrival. the end beginning again always comes.
don't worry. don't cry. it's not that bad. the end.
beginning again. will not allow you to remain. why fear?
why fear that which you do not know? which you do not yet understand?
the end laughs at your ignorance. laughs at your fear.
laugh back. it will be a beginning. just a beginning.
how about that. time goes on and on and on and on and on and on and
so the end comes. awaiting you. it's been.
and that's the way it goes.
all is finished. for a while.
and all that is is gone.
all that was is no longer.
ain't that a shame?
what is better than what is now?
surely not what was?
what was.
what was it?
what was it now did i say?
it was it was it was nothing worth remembering.
already i have forgotten. already.
regret. sorrow. no no
t h e e n d
are you glad? are you happy in its arrival?
do you now understand where you are?
what you have become? we all, here for centuries
know the feeling controlling you. you are, you are still unaware
of what it all means. afraid a bit still. and ignorance too
has not as yet left your door. but it will. are you glad?
are you happy in its arrival? are you glad? we are. that you have
arrived.
the beginning. ending again. run from its conclusion.
its sure conclusion. the beginning ending again always comes.
worry. run. cry. it is that bad if you don't understand.
ending again. something new must come.
change will not allow you not to. the beginning ending again
fears the same.
why? you know. the two shall laugh together. one of joy.
one of fear not to. you too must laugh. it will be an ending.
just an ending. followed by the beginning. ending again.
begin again. change goes on and on and on and on and on and on and
so both shall never end. leave just to return. awaiting you.
it's been.
they both have been.

it is the beginning of the end
the end of the beginning.
l a u g h l a u g h l a u g h l a u g h l a u g h l a u g h l a u g h
awaiting them. go on and go on and go on and go on and go on and go
the end
