Where does it end?
<p>Where Does It End - A POEM&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>The river asks the ocean,</p><p>the ocean asks the sky—</p><p>each wave a whispered question</p><p>that never gets reply.</p><p><br></p><p>Does sunset end at darkness</p><p>or begin another day?</p><p>Does winter end in springtime</p><p>or simply drift away?</p><p><br></p><p>The child asks the mother,</p><p>the mother asks the years—</p><p>when does laughter soften</p><p>into the salt of tears?</p><p><br></p><p>Does love end in forgetting</p><p>or live in what remains?</p><p>Does sorrow end in healing</p><p>or echo in our veins?</p><p><br></p><p>The mountain asks the valley,</p><p>the valley asks the stone—</p><p>when does together crumble</p><p>into the weight of alone?</p><p><br></p><p>Each breath ends in releasing,</p><p>each word fades into air,</p><p>yet still we keep on asking</p><p>what lingers, what stays there.</p><p><br></p><p>Perhaps the asking matters</p><p>more than answers we might find—</p><p>the edge that keeps us searching</p><p>is the edge of heart and mind.</p><p><br></p><p>Where does it end, this mystery</p><p>of borders undefined?</p><p>Maybe it ends in nowhere,</p><p>maybe it never ends at all.</p>
