Farewell Poem

It was on a red sunset…
That we found ourselves at the cross-roads,
Paths leading to different goals…each alluring to one of the group-
For we were “One, but not the same…and had carried each other”:-
It was there at the junction, that we paused and thought,
One last time before we spread apart-
The topsy-ies, and turvy-ies of the road behind.
We recalled the stars at the horizon, directing our way,
The worn yet sturdy signposts as we moved away…
And little bits of directions here and there, from passers-by-all the veterans of the road.
We brought up little reminiscences,
And mulled over so many unsaid words.
We thought of every differences-
And joked at the silly discords.
Caught in a time warp …
We wondered about the past
And what we had left behind.

And now as gloom loomed over the young heads,
As bells rang heralding the final leap…
We took a glance behind again,
Made notice of the shadows of their past,
And saluted the guides on the road.

We moved on!
