The End

“Begin at the beginning," the King said, very gravely, "and go on till you come to the end: then stop.”
Lewis Carroll - Alice in Wonderland

Easy enough to start at the beginning,
when life is young and excitement brimming,
childhood unfolding, the tale begun,
adult emerging, the race being run,
middle age adding its steady chapter,
the ear of the listener held in rapture,
but age will stumble in the fading light,
so hard to discern when day becomes night.
