The End of the World by Brad Wolfe

The end is not yet here,
But when it comes,
With it will come the memories.
Memories of a man so magnificent
He had the power to unlock all doors.
Memories of powerful tools invented by this man
A man who knew only of the good that could be created.
Memories of the man's emotions.
So varied in size and shape,
That they could not all be contained within his soul.
Memories of magic this man could perform.
Not magic with a wand and a spell,
But magic with a pencil and paper.
The magic of poetry.
