A closure is a kind of farewell.

Today is sufficient with all its morbid traffic of endless news its personal upheavals that bring us gloom. So with a kind of wave as if with a magic wand we attempt a closure push away the gloom till maybe its gone. The Sun will always rise another day God said Earth is here forever it will stay, so let us with these morbid things keep our eyes fixed on what is better not a confidence trick intent on distress but a we know where we are going that is best.
