(Revised version of Pack, Go and Adieu)
In the midst of chaotic junks,
Encumbered by a cluttered thought,
Rubbles are seen everywhere –
As if, the earthquake handed me
Its rattling jungle and ruins.
How these amass of scraps get here,
Makes me ponder and wonder.
They are insignificant now,
For all the boxes, large and small;
They will not fit them all.
True, this place is empty; only
With loved ones who have gone away,
As they left their precious treasures,
And, remembrance of our happy times;
Such memories evoke my tears to fall.
A new lease of life to rebuild
From scratches to a fresh start;
As long as the sun keeps shining –
Hope smiles for a new beginning
Adieu to my home and my love.
