The point of no return.

Words stop,
Voices muffle,
Then cease.

I stand,
I watch,
I stare.

Time moves on,
Ticking,

The silence,
Looms large,
I sense it,
I see.

The crest,
The trough,
This thing,
We call life,
All remain,
A memory,
In the mind,
Of only,
The very hands,
Of time.

To what avail,
I wonder...

So as long as I can,
Both,
Kick and fight,
I live,
I love,
I strife.

Until...
I reach the very point,
The point of no return.
