Leaving

Everybody leaves –
sometimes in joy
sometimes in anger
sometimes in despair.

Everybody hopes –
to find a scintilla of meaning,
a love that lasts,
a candid smile,
ever-elusive peace.

Yet,
everybody leaves –
and in their rushed departure
you can see
the pain of circumstances,
a pitiless reminder
of past failures,
of past hopes
of past triumphant glory.

Mostly you smile –
sometimes you cry,
sometimes you feel the burden lift
and suddenly
you breathe
again.
