"Its only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything." - Chuck Palahniuk. 

When we reach the lowest point in our lives, when we have nothing left to lose, when we claim to have reached the 'end' of it all, it only means we cannot go any lower or lose anything more. From then on, we're free to become as large as we can think of, gain as much as we dream of, go as high as we want to, and find the definition of our inner selves.  

At that moment, you realize that 'Infinity' is not just an abstract idea, or a mathematical concept. It is something we find within ourselves when we're at the apparent 'end'.

Endings could also be beautiful, and perhaps, sometimes, we find our Infinity in the 'End'.

*INFINITUS* :

As I stand on the seashore,

Watching the offing mirror the orb

Descending into tranquil waters,

This aesthetic moment I slowly absorb 

The dreamy, velvet sky ablaze

My penumbra swaying in fading light,

Ebullient waves scurry forth,

To embrace my feet in sheer delight

The sky embodying eternity,

Ocean, seemingly perpetual,

My soul inspired, finds its infinity,

In a moment bewitchingly sempiternal 

Watching the scarlet globe,

Go home into the horizon,

My soul trapped in a frenzy,

Establishes a notion

We state 'endings' to be sombre,

Perhaps they possess some secret beauty,

Morosely claim, "Everything has an end",

Perhaps in it lies the inception of an infinity

Sometimes...it is in the 'End'

You find that you're infinite,

Shall I remind you of its beauty?

Infinity has no limit...

-Aiyla
