The End

The end of all we’ve ever known is near

A quiet end, when all is said and done

I watch the end approach without much fear

A rapid end without a sound to hear

The last of boredom and the end of fun

The end of all we’ve ever known is near

This is the end of all that we hold dear

An end to everything and everyone

I watch the end approach without much fear

Now at the end, my conscience will be clear

The light will end as darkness takes the sun

The end of all we’ve ever known is near

We had no clue, the end came from the rear

Now from that end there is no place to run

I watch the end approach without much fear

At least it means an end to all the tears

Time flies away, the last end has begun

The end of all we’ve ever known is near

I watch the end approach without much fear

** I was wondering what those last 8 minutes might be like if our sun went supernova. I'd hope I could face the end with dignity, but there really wouldn't be enough time for much else, and there could be worse things to go out with than a villanelle...
