The Sentence

Sentences
Always a beginning
Sometimes an end
I’m in a sentence.
Is there an end?
Yes, ultimately.
No, in the here and now.
This side of eternity
I will never be able
To place the period
At the end of my sentence.
Consider a sentence:
A personal expression
Or, a period of imprisonment.
May my life be an expression-
With many completions
But, no ultimate end,
Until eternity.
Then the ultimate Editor
Will bring my manuscript
To completion.

-Richard L. Brewer
