DEPARTURE

On every departure
A vacuum sprawls
And remains widening
Till the arrival of the next
Evaluation of both
Leads to either of the two
Whether joy or moan
If joy enjoy-if moan bemoan
Hail the arrival seeking novelty
Or sigh the broken continuity
 Of the exotic beauty of lost spring
Winter with spiky leaves
Drunk with the mischief
To rule the roost of life
Sultry winter spans for long
The fragile springs shortens
Hence hundreds of summers
And springs render no respite
If relished one goes away
The void though get filled
Yet heaves to be occupied 
That goes to stay ever blank
