The Departure

by Baburaj Nair

Crows cried and koels cooed,

As a sign of his departure;

Friends waited to chat and part,

Leaving the reminiscence of the past.

With mixed feelings at heart,

Cocking his ears to hear,

The footfalls of his friends,

He stood there alone.

He waited there in dilemma,

Of whether to walk away

Or to wait;

As nobody bid ‘adieu’

To the poor fellow,

Casting his eyes down

With a heaviness at heart,

He strode away from the campus.
