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.

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!
Spread the words..
A Journey Called Life ... 
here, here, may it be so.
Lovely, loved it.
Thank you, India, for reading and leaving words of motivation for me.:)
No, this is a picture of my crafts. This is not a painting though. 🙂 Thank you, Indira. 🙂
Thank you so much. I am quite hopeful about meeting again. 🙂 Good Luck to you too.:)
I love this. Maybe we will meet again. Good luck and happy writing until then.
That image is very beautiful, is it your painting?
Very good postscript. You come up with so beautiful phrases, it makes your writing delightful.
Exactly, that’s the hope. 🙂 Thank you for the visit and your words. 🙂
I like, “hemmed in by glossy hopes.” I also like the idea that goodbyes are new beginnings- it takes the finality out of ‘goodbye’!
🙂
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.
🙂
Thank you, Ree. 🙂
Thank you, TIZ. 🙂
Thank you, Vishal. 🙂 I am full of hopes, Vishal, about life and its surprises. 🙂
Thank you. 🙂 Yeah, I am quite sad that they’re ending. Loved those 33 and 333 words and their encouragements.
Thank you, Atreyee. 🙂
Thank you. 🙂 Let’s see where we meet again. 🙂
Thank you, Amit. 🙂
Thank you. 🙂 maybe we’ll meet at yeahwrite,though I have to figure out the rules there.
Yep… maybe we’ll meet again… I wouldn’t be surprised. Nice postscript.
Very Nice Archita…:)
Lovely, Archita! Especially ‘fuzzy surmises’ has me intrigued.
Here’s to a new common ground : )
“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!
An absolutely beautiful end to the Trifecta journey. Marvellous work!
Beautifully said, Goodbye are new beginnings. Love every word in ur poem and, of course, the quest for hope in life:)
Lovely and hopeful words,Archita.
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!
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.
