A closure is a kind of farewell.


Poem Artwork

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.

Good advice, strange philosophy.
