Chapter Conclusions

Things may close for a reason,

Let it, to force the book open

maybe more painful than closing it

Authors choose to end novels after

conflict, after resolution, after development,

Find gratitude in the departure,

not regret, leave with optimism

The idea of destruction, reconstructed,

For things to fall apart allows for

better things to fall together,

The idea of destiny undeniable,

Persisting pain perceived to last,

but promotes growth past resolution,

never conclusion

Free your heart, for change

can be beautiful; darkness is needed

to see stars; stop, savour the chapter

For the next page isn’t the last,

Leave your story to be written,

open ended, no periods, possible commas.
