Behold the wretched
The burning black
Here is the eye
Staring back

Look away, young child
Look away for fear
And doubt
Come ever forward

While life retreats

Here on the edge of all things
Backwards though the sky may seem
One must look up
To see the total dream

But flames in the air
And there is an eye
See that I see you
At the turn of the tide

   At the end of all things

Nice stuff. I particularly like the 4th and 5th stanzas. Very cool vibe... even though, the first time I read it, it reminded me of Lord of the Rings, lol.

Frodo feels relief from the destruction of the Ring but they both realize they will not survive the destruction of the mountain. After Sam's expression of regrets, Frodo takes him in his arms and tells him, "I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee...  here at the end of all things" The screen turns black (and 14 people leave the theater thinking it's over)
