My favorite poem for endings:

  Sometimes I think
  we could have gone on.
  All of us. Trying. Forever.

  But they didn't fill
  the desert with pyramids.
  They just built some. Some.

  They're not still out there,
  building them now. Everyone,
  everywhere, gets up, and goes home.

  Yet we must not
  diabolize time. Right?
  We must not curse the passage of time.

(Jennifer Michael Hecht, "On the Strength of All Conviction and the Stamina of Love")

Hey, that's a very nice piece. Thanks for sharing. This is by the author of several very interesting books of historical criticism, as well.
