All stories come to an end 

some fade softly into the night 

like the closing lines of a lullaby 

a whisper carried off by the wind 


Some stumble from the start 

tripping over missteps and imperfections 

others end in tragedy 

unfinished sentences cut short 

pages torn out mid-chapter 


Most are tattered 

left to gather dust 

in the margins of memory 

but each one 

no matter how small or insignificant 

changes at least one life 


Each breath we take 

each word we speak 

etches a line 

into the fabric of the world 

sometimes gently 

sometimes deep 


We leave behind echoes 

even when we don't mean to 

tiny ripples 

in the ocean of time 

stretching far beyond our reach 

touching shores we'll never see 


For better or worse 

we're all stories 

being written and rewritten 

until the very last word 

immortalizes us beyond death 

in someone else's heart
