Never Ending Story

At the beginning

we hungrily devour each page

consume the potential

chapter by chapter

As the end draws near

each page held so dear

Aggrieved about saying goodbye

to all the characters

Unexpected Twist?

Life is a mysterious beast,

when you think you've got it whipped

it turns on you.

Eventually you realise

that each page 

simply needs to be read

and turned over.
