Ender

At the end of my strength,
At the end of my life,
I looked up toward the skies,
Blood-red, an atrophied horizon,
Wondering if I may ever again rise.
I see them fighting hopelessly,
My doomed allies,
Burning,
Crying,
In agony,
Like the smoldering ruin of my world.
I can see His endgame,
Annihilation,
Unfettered,
Unfurled.
Today is Judgment Day,
The end of everything we know,
The Ultimate Tribulation,
And I pray for what will never come,
Salvation.
