A New Journey... Poem by Mamta Agarwal

A New Journey...

Rating: 5.0


As the youngest spread
Wings in the literal sense
And waved both hands
After clearing the security check,

We both waved back and sighed
And evaded looking in the other’s eyes.
Then I quietly slipped my hand
In his arm, and pushed my brand

New bag on wheels towards
The domestic departure lounge.
To catch our flight to Goa, the land
Of magic, beaches and sand.

To get reacquainted all over once again,
And a new journey of new possibilities began.

When the youngest spread wings of love and waved both hands. Why should we say in literal sense? After all you are painting a scene with pen. Very good expression dear mamta.

Ah! ! ! Nothing like the empty nest feeling and the peace and quiet that goes with it untill they come home again.Enjoy it while you can.I think I had 23 minutes and 2 seconds before mine returned. Along with the empty nest syndrom we parents are subject to the boomerang effect.Nice poem brought back those memories.

Life is a journey not a destination that's why every stage of life we should spend merrily not with tears. Good piece of work
