the end
or a beginning;
a source of fear for ancients
or a challenge to explore?

conclusion
or excitement;
excuse to stop believing
or the yearning to know more?

finale
or the opening act;
the closing of the curtains
or a rise to take the floor?

destruction
or my re-birth;
my ultimate surrender,
standing silent on the shore
as I gaze at the horizon?

Or my call to go to war?
