As certain as a concrete path
That leads from here to there
A settled end of certainty
Releasing – if you dare
An ending seems so final
Though an end there needs to be
An end with questions still unanswered
End of long-past misery
As tender washes bitterness
Aside! Away! Afar!
The bitterness of losses
Taints the sweetness of the mark
A farewell mark in time
A fresh begin-again
A next step of progression
A sweet beginning, bitter end
