SENTENCED

Punctuated by commas,
A couple of exclamation points,
A couple of question marks,
A hyphen or two,
Many a word had woven their way
Across the lines.
Strung together, broken, separated.

The mind seeking closure,
The time had come
To put a period mark.

As the hand finished drawing the dot,
The heart seeking extension,
Added two more.

The full stop
Became an ellipsis,
For the long-winding sentence
To be continued…
