Closure
Closure,
The exit of a loved one,
By casket or by train,
Closure,
Medals and Merits on a uniform,
The journey home from foreign soil,
Closure,
Moving the home to another house,
Job placement,
Closure,
Goals and tragedies,
All swallowed by mortality,
Closure,
No Celtic knots,
No endless timelines,
Closure, Giving comfort,
Forcing grief to surface,
Closure,
Proclaiming Pride,
Shunning Shame,
Closure,
A sense of accomplishment,
A sense of nostalgia
A sense of stability,
A sense of understanding,
A sense of peace.
Admission and acknowledgment of one’s innate calling.
Author Note: yeah, the end is coming. when? and the end of what? ending can be good. it can be bad. but there is an end to all things made of this world.
