The End

A poem

By Maria A. PerezPublished 2 months ago 1 min read

A spark

What if?

Meticulous choice

Of phrases and scenes as tinder

Fueled by creativity

Kindled by what’s in between the lines

***

Each page

Igniting a story that must be told

Demanding more and more oxygen

Every bit of energy devoted

To create an explosion

Of characters and plot twists

***

Until finally

We douse the fire

With sweat and tears

And type the words

The End

About the Creator

Maria A. Perez

Author of the romantic space opera trilogy, The Curse of Sotkari Ta, its prequel, Song of the Caged Warrior, and a poetry book. As a diehard “Trekkie” and Star Wars fan, I'm fascinated by what lies beyond the unexplored reaches of space.
