Finality
		--------

A poet says the perfect word, then never speaks again.
The actor plays the perfect role, then never more pretends.
The singer lifts the soul on high, then finds another trade.
The sculptors final work of art, the best he's ever made.

When all the highest peaks now rest so firmly 'neath our feet.
And nothing greater still does seem to be within our reach.
What then shall any person do when perfect love gives way,
And nothing good is left to fear, but each new lonely day.
