Pent up emotions
A whirlwind of expectations
The vacuum of anticipation
Surrogate designation
Embryonic something
Lost the desire to be born
Looking for peace,
Round and around.
The end of another year
Faces to be replaced
(Stay detached, they say,
They are not to stay)

Lessons learnt,
and yet
No lessons learnt
The hope of future and the future of hope
Entwined with the cavitised memories
The same window
The same smile..
