The End is Music by A.R. Williams

Cascading water pours over
rocks vested in
moss, whispering to me
like a mother soothing her child.

At a distance,
a visitor crunches through the underbrush
as the rain’s rhythmic
clattering swells. Suddenly, a
croaking frog calls to me like the town crier,
heralding the arrival of night break.

Reclining in wooded solitude,
I end the day
with nature's symphony.



A.R. Williams is the author of A Funeral in the Wild (Kelsay Books, 2024) and editor of East Ridge Review.
