    And so here it is,
    The start of the End,
    And the end of the Beginning.
    The fall of the New,
    And the rise of the Old,
    The switch that never came,
    Coming about again.
    Things that never were,
    Surrounding us all about,
    We can not see them,
    But we know where they are,
    We can not feel them,
    But their presence is felt.
    This blinding darkness holds no light,
    Yet we can see clear as day,
    This deafening silence screams its warning,
    That nothing has changed.
    Nothing new has yet to happen,
    While everything passes by.
    And so to end,
    What never was,
    And to bring a beginning,
    Of what will never be,
    We pause.

    hey man. great. love the compelling nature of the sentences. the way you set it up centered works for how you outlined the words. This is a very powerful poem. you should be proud.

    It always makes one proud when their piece of work is given the time read and commented, and makes one prouder when they are given a compliment such as yours. I thank you for each.

    i really like this, very solemn, beautiful. keep it up. very brilliant work.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
