Landing, arrival, homecoming <br />Taking off, departing, holiday, higher learning. <br />Some holding out arms to embrace <br />Others were waving with both hands. <br /> <br />Reunion filled with anticipation <br />Moist eyes, wistful expressions. <br />Animated faces, full of devotion <br />Lips twitching, myriad emotions. <br /> <br />Commotion, as dear ones alight <br />And others depart to catch a flight. <br />From the lounge I watched <br />Anxious faces, on tiptoe search <br /> <br />Some giving last minute instructions <br />Young, listening with compunction. <br />Airport lounges and Railway stations <br />Tell so many stories I thought with fascination.<br /><br />Mamta Agarwal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/arrivals-and-departures-4/
