Unending ending

We mentioned chapters. Life-chapters relegated to memory files.

Evanescent.
Intangible.

Where do they go? What happens?
Yellowed, crumbling pages. Photos indistinct, losing clarity.

Dim.
Faded.

A lifetime comprised of mini-lifetimes, moving necessarily through the story, waking to a new setting. Sometimes

Optimistic.
Contented.

Maybe

Doleful.
Tentative.

And inevitably

Grievous.
Lamentable.

Until that Day.
His Day.
The one He owns.

The chapter eternal opens.
The one I'm waiting for.
