The Departure



She waves to him with her sweet smile
But her smile just lasts for a while
As his ship moves farther into the sea
Her agonies, she begins to see! 

Unfolding the letter she had
Reading his words she felt glad
His voice echoed in his words
Her dreams began to fly like birds

    Departures remind me of Portuguese Fados. Here is a beautiful one with subtitles in English, so you feel what I'm talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65JXzQqhR40

    Take care and keep smiling. ;-)

    Hi Umesh,

    Truly a sad poem, but there can be happiness in the words of the letter.

    Just letting you know that each weeks TT theme will be put up on Sundays and posting will be on Thursdays. It is up there now. Please stop by for a visit.

    God bless.
