Week 41 – REQUIEM
Not every ending is a loss. Some are lullabies for the next beginning.
Not every ending is a loss. Some are lullabies for the next beginning.
I don’t grieve endings anymore.
I serenade them.
Lay them down with hymns only survivors know.
Every farewell sharpens my hunger for what’s next.
This is REQUIEM
The ash doesn't shake hands with the wood it left behind.
We build graves out of habits and call it history,
holding our breath in rooms where the fire went out a winter ago.
I used to sit in the ruins and beg the plaster to stay whole,
wiping soot on my sleeves like it was oil for an anointing.
No more.
The architecture of a collapse is a blueprint for the clean ground.
I have learned to witness the timber snapping without reaching for the nails.
There is a liturgy in the tearing down.
A doctrine written in the clean break of a spine that carried too many dead men's weight.
Do not bring your cheap grief to this altar.
I am tuning the throat to sing the rafters to the floor,
excavating the marrow of what survived the heat.
Every door that slammed shut was just a shutter focusing the lens.
Every cold shoulder was an ember cooling to stone.
We do not bury the past to hide the evidence;
we bury it because the soil demands a body before it grants a harvest.
Listen to the silence where the screaming used to live—
that is the overture.
The hymn is done, the smoke is clearing, the ink is dry.
You cannot inherit the kingdom while you are still nursing the corpse of the preview.
Invitation
What ending in your life deserves to be honored, not mourned?
Sing it here, turn closure into ceremony.
Week 41. REQUIEM sung.
Next Sunday, we claim the crown of inheritance.
Beautiful Wreckage' lives where
your story collides with mine.
Drop a verse in the comments.
leave a line in the chat. or DM me
if you need your truth to stay in
the dark.
Every fragment you share
becomes another pulse in the
wreckage, and I' 1l weave it into
the next living prose
At Vision 2 Verse, we don't run
from the ruins. we rebuild with
what still burns.
We fll the silence with words
that don't flinch. We write to
remember. We speak to
transform.
You in?

This ain’t therapy. It’s testimony.
