leaving home

 

life portals bear import
more than ports of call
they demand deportment

choose to step through
this door to the other side
as it shuts quietly behind

there’s no going back now

the goodbyes and hellos of
these unmasked emotions
express momentous change

leave outgrown past for
future’s fresh opportunities
every end is new beginning

 

 

 


I stare at empty nest as our fourth son is now married and moved out…and Anmol (HA) hosts dVerse poetics with interesting with “portals” prompt.  How fitting!

    We all had those moments… myself I’m happy with the doors I have opened.

    Every end IS a new beginning, providing we don’t waste our time dwelling on what’s past!
