The End

When the fire has burnt out and the coals grown cold

After the last shout and the last story is told

The book is shut, the tale faded to dreams

Thread of the past cut, a fantasy it seems

From the ashes a spark lifts and flies

A glow that flashes, then dies in one's eyes

I don't like movies where the dog dies in the end - I much prefer a happy ending, so was hoping for a better ending for that spark - maybe a " first light on the fifth day " kinda thing . enjoyed the work - carl

Thanks so much Carl where many see ashes as sad I see them as a sign of a fuel well spent, some see a death as dark I see it as a mere transformation to another state a moving on so to speak. Thanks so much Carl for the read and comment it is deeply appreciated and sorry to leave the dog dead but if there is a heaven it is full of dogs after all dog is god backwards and if there is no heaven then its molecules are now moving on in other states without the itch of fleas.
