Thus, I emerged

closed chapter

My soul has longed for this moment for quite a while
Three years to be exact

Three years without closure,
a part of me not healing
that stopped in the middle of the mourning process

One that I wanted to leave behind
and I finally did
when I met him again with the cold brown earth blanketing him

No longer above ground
yet still in my heart

I kept my peaceful quiet until the first words rolled of my lips
soon every grudge I held, every blame he deserved, flew his way
as did every forgiveness

I spoke Dutch to him
which left me in giggles
Who else here would speak that language to him again?

I bid my last goodbye,
as I stared at the mountains of Vedeno

And I felt content,
because he lays in front of a breathtaking view

Knowing he had no worries anymore,
I turned around
Closing the chapter
and the wounds he left behind
