At the end......

Collecting the jacket
that lie on his dinner table,
I step out and wait to listen
to a thud of door closing behind me.
Strange, I hear none!
As I walk,
my sandals resound
on the empty street.
His words reverberate
through my heart,
"This is over,
This is the end!"
I have not his hand but
a distant lonely star
to guide me.
Strange again,
I'm not least frightened
of the dark now!
I rush forward,
with new found dreams,
and a new found determination.
"Peace pervades.. "
