Adieu(A Tribute To A Retirement) Poem by RAJ VIKRAM

It is not pleasant to be
left behind, but it is indeed,
pleasant to feel fulfilled by
a presence of inexorable inspiration.

Adieu, is a matter of
routine for us and it is the
time's way of reminding that it
keeps tab on every movement of us.

Every moment that ticks on
is registered with metronomic
accuracy that is beyond
us humans, the insipid impostors.

But when you exited from the
castle that has invisible tugs
which ties down the most liberate
it could only be a matter of joy.

From now on when you indulge
with gay abandon, devoid of
strings this change of phase could
only be deemed as freedom unbound.

Soak into the new phase
with elan and move up the levels
that yearn to be scaled by
your colossal abilities.

And we will watch from the
sidelines with awe, and applaud
with glee and just for now
we just stand up and bid adieu.
