completion

When you are done
when the last thread is knotted
the last word is written and
the last sound has reverberated
its final note throughout the air
there is a sense of
finality and loss

Because when you are done
all you see is completion
and you are set free
from the compulsion to complete
to endure until the end
set gently from a fantasy
back into bleak reality
the passion has poured until empty
and if it feels like nothing is left

Blink when you are done
see it in its wholeness and entirety
and then turn and look beyond
for more than just one
there are many
and each possibility
is a new road to be
completed.
