Parting

A decade and some
Pearls of moments
Strung together with aplomb
Of many, endorsements
 
A chapter in life, longish
Not the cliched era though
Years of joy undiminished
But for a brief presence of sough
 
The walls echoes with us
Our joys ingrained in them
The tear stained nooks
Interspersed with some humdrum
 
Without looking back, I will
Walk away from this abode,
Fighting back tears that’ll spill
Heart filled and head bowed.
