[hometext] => On the threshold of a new life, my last goodbyes to the life that I am leaving behind forever...
[bodytext] => A patch of grass, trodden but soft The holder of memories that now grow dim A waft of air, with fragrance sweet Breezes past the trees so trim. A bird flies ahead, its wings spread out Beating back and forth ’gainst the air with innate ease The weary traveller stands stock still Invigorated by all she sees. Images bring forth the joys of yesterday Fleeting glimpses of years long past The little girl stands no more How did those years fly by so fast? Radiant faces, flushed and bright The exhilaration of a ‘worthy’ fight Gentle words, serene and kind That let out of the darkness, into the light. The spot where two friends first shared their views Caressed in memory, ne’er forgot Those lanes traversed, unchanged, of a mystic hue The misty clouds, the raindrops caught. Days spent chasing after the wind In pursuit of dreams, ethereal beings Figments fade, but dreams never do The ‘child is grown’, but the hope still sings. Delusions, disillusionment – all a part of life Nothing to challenge the soul and there is no spice But the lessons learnt, carried forward Steady the boat when life rolls the dice. Snatches of a conversation return to her ears Heard long back, yet immortal and clear Triumphing over obliviating time Treasured for long and forever dear. Under the same blue sky she stands As the ones who walked before her did With one last glance at the familiar ties That must now be wrenched apart and rid. That journey has ended; it is now time to leave A new one awaits, there are new people to greet Yes, ‘parting is such sweet sorrow’ For who knows whether we shall again meet? Yet memories remain, echoes of the past To take comfort in when the days are long The traveller must now go forth and embark On the new adventure, which will test the strong. Breathing in nostalgia Stealing another look at old days so bright She steels herself to face the unknown The chapter is ended, ‘and so…goodnight’.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
