Beyond the Last Page

Beyond the Last Page by Jack A.S. Dunce The heart smiled as of the glass shoe slid to fit -- A step into the promised forever Where flowers bloom and skies always sunlit. But wouldn't walking be an endeavor? A kiss that breathes life back to the once-dead, Or wakes the spirit up from its long sleep, To face a promising future ahead. But aren't promises difficult to keep? The thrill of plunging deep the worn out sword Into the dragon's beating heart at last And see it fall as it painfully roared. But wouldn't the conscience feel too aghast? Upon waking from all the fun laughter, What follows happily ever after? --🌼-- ©️pgmr 03/13/2026
