A long pause
of hushed confusions.
Placid whispers
of new beginnings.
Yellow sun
washed away
our leaden sky;
hemmed in by
glossy hopes
and fuzzy surmises,
I sail alone
to your haven,
again.

Written for Trifecta Writing Challenge: Week 105

I always have something more to say when I end a letter or a goodbye speech.
I remember, during last semester in a school, a friend wrote on my slam-book: “Goodbyes are new beginnings.”. I thought he wrote that because his English was bad and he could express more nicely on his work of electronic circuit designs than on a slam-book. Years later, now I know what those words meant. We both traveled to different parts of the world, we both met again and again, at work, at family gatherings, at new beginnings and new locations.
“Goodbyes are new beginnings.”
So, Trifecta editors, maybe we’ll meet again. That’s the hope. May you craft a bigger and more magnificent creative hub and shine brighter!
here, here, may it be so.
I love this. Maybe we will meet again. Good luck and happy writing until then.
Thank you so much. I am quite hopeful about meeting again. 🙂 Good Luck to you too.:)
That image is very beautiful, is it your painting?
No, this is a picture of my crafts. This is not a painting though. 🙂 Thank you, Indira. 🙂
Lovely, loved it.
Very good postscript. You come up with so beautiful phrases, it makes your writing delightful.
Thank you, India, for reading and leaving words of motivation for me.:)
I like, “hemmed in by glossy hopes.” I also like the idea that goodbyes are new beginnings- it takes the finality out of ‘goodbye’!
Exactly, that’s the hope. 🙂 Thank you for the visit and your words. 🙂
Yep… maybe we’ll meet again… I wouldn’t be surprised. Nice postscript.
Thank you. 🙂 maybe we’ll meet at yeahwrite,though I have to figure out the rules there.
Very Nice Archita…:)
Thank you, Amit. 🙂
Lovely, Archita! Especially ‘fuzzy surmises’ has me intrigued.
Here’s to a new common ground : )
Thank you. 🙂 Let’s see where we meet again. 🙂
“hemmed in by
glossy hopes” Ooh-such beautiful writing Archita,loved it :-)Am totally with you on this-I too hope that we all meet again and again!
Thank you, Atreyee. 🙂
🙂
An absolutely beautiful end to the Trifecta journey. Marvellous work!
Thank you. 🙂 Yeah, I am quite sad that they’re ending. Loved those 33 and 333 words and their encouragements.
Beautifully said, Goodbye are new beginnings. Love every word in ur poem and, of course, the quest for hope in life:)
Thank you, Vishal. 🙂 I am full of hopes, Vishal, about life and its surprises. 🙂
🙂
Lovely and hopeful words,Archita.
Thank you, TIZ. 🙂
Not sure which of your words left me mesmerized..”A long pause of hushed confusions” or “Placid whispers of new beginnings” or “fuzzy surmises”! There you rock again with your amazing imagery!
Thank you, Ree. 🙂
This is beautiful, and I love your postscript. I truly hope our paths will continue to cross, that we Trifectans weave a new pattern each time we do.
I am hopeful about that too. I had to write a postscript of hopes as I don’t love endings; specially when I am in love with something and that ends all of a sudden. 🙂 Thank you for the visit and your words.
