Butterfly in Amber

is this the end?

perhaps just a pause as i
you & me & everything inbetween
come to realize a truth
about the situation

there is no situation

there is only what this is
a sundering
a drifting away across the ocean
sailing to other shores
sailing away to farther shores

this is not the end

this is change
after the eye of the storm has passed
& the walls between us have crumbled
& you & i
& you & i
are no longer you & i

drifting away across the ocean
washing up on other shores
we turn to sand
& sink into the undertow

perhaps just a pause as i
you & me & nothing inbetween
just the unvarnished truth

this is not the end

this is not the end of the tale

but is this the end?
