Closure

There is a multitude of personal growth to be found.
It's in the changing of your mind, the breakdown of relationships, even the setbacks of goals you once had planned to achieve.
Buried deep within the messy and always complicated dilemma's of this life, there too lies the seed of personal growth.
Showered with your tears and fed by your acceptance of that in which you cannot change, it will slowly begin to rise up from the soil, sprouting a new version of yourself.
The you that is still just as complex and dysfunctional as ever.
Only now, perhaps more in tune with the melody of your heart.
More graceful and willing to forgive.
For in your time of personal growth, the harsh winter winds and the hurricanes of summer that for so long, seemed to block out the sunshine, have taught you the beauty and power that lies within forgiveness.
Forgiveness towards those in whom have wronged you.
Forgiveness towards those in whom you have wronged yourself.
For only in the Grace of forgiveness are you able to take the delicate steps towards finding your own closure.
Only in taking these delicate steps are you able to begin letting go, thus freeing your heart from the burden it has carried for so long.
Releasing the pain, the guilt, anger, frustrations....all of it.
Then, the greatest moment is experienced.

.....You wake up.

I like it. Though, if I can be so bold as to suggest a change, I would at the end say: You mature.

That's what was going through my mind while reading it. As you let go, as you forgive, that seed grow yes but as it weathers the seasons (the wrong done) it becomes stronger, it matures. Not that you were referring to being childish or anything like that, I'm sure you understand my point.

Whether you close the door behind you or not, the next doors to open are all in front of you. There is nothing stopping anyone from opening new doors in the future, whether the winds of forgivness have blown closed a door on the past or not, except themselves. Do the clouds in your mind hide letting go of someone, and if they were good enough to keep in there, will they ever really leave, or just be pushed aside by the winds of time.
