Closure

It amazes me sometimes,

how life seems to always

come around full circle,

and that certain moments

today are somehow connected

to moments in our past

in the most unexpected ways;

I was reminded of that today

God surely does work

in mysterious ways

I lost someone special in my past;

someone so very close to me

I was so very blind

that I couldn't even see

what was happening

right before my eyes;

nor could I hear

his many silent cries

and I can't help but feel

this burden of guilt now

for not doing my part

to help heal him

He left me with a gaping hole

beyond my control

deep within my heart,

and the real truth is,

I lack closure

Today, an unfortunate news;

someone else I once knew,

same place, same circumstances

but maybe this time;

maybe this time

I can close that gaping hole

I can somehow help

to heal his soul,

and through him, 

make my brother proud ...

I miss you Vic, so very much,

with love, this is for you
