Closure

--- Some things lack closure --- Like a sunset blocked by oncoming gray clouds Or looking for answers from reflections in water Only to have ripples blur what is to be seen Or racing to bring flowers, with no answer at the door Past hurts from long ago lingering unresolved Brought back by reminders, seeping into the present Not wanting to hear some things, yet trying to listen A life unacknowledged, as it should be upon death Waiting for a significant surge of words to be told Triggers, anger, misunderstandings do unfold Trying to please, yet maybe never enough Some things lack closure, lurking in the mind --- Until it is our true purpose we find --- Heidi Sands 1/6/18
