Last Call Serenade

As our blurry retrospective
mercifully fades to black
the realization hits us
there's no going back

Yesterday can finally
be completely
unequivocally
buried

No more need
for these rose colored specs

Our delusional
eternity tokens
have all been spent 

Time to get ready
for the exit ramp up next
on the road to mortality

And so it goes by friends

All good, bad, and indifferent
things come to an end

Last one out
please turn out the lights
prior to final departure
