Arrivals and Departures

We journey through the boundless expanse of life,

Amidst the ceaseless march of time's eternal turbulence, 

Across our path, fleeting souls like stars ignite,

Some shine vividly, others vanish from our sight.

Absence, a void that lingers in our hearts,

A silent ache, a whisper of what once was,

The empty spaces where laughter once resided,

Now filled with echoes of memories, bittersweet and divided.

Presence, a gift bestowed upon our mortal frames,

A fragile thread that weaves us into each other's lives,

Through shared moments, we find solace and connection,

A symphony of souls, dancing in harmonious reflection.

Yet, as the years unfold, relationships evolve,

Like shifting sands, they mold and reshape,

Some bonds grow stronger, weathering life's storms,

While others fracture, leaving us torn.

How do we measure the worth of these connections?

Is it in the laughter shared or tears shed?

Do we count the days spent in each other's embrace,

Or the moments when absence leaves an empty space?

And what of the ones who come and go,

Like whispers in the wind, fleeting and unknown?

Do their brief encounters hold significance,

Or are they mere footnotes in life's grand experience?

As we ponder the absence and presence that intertwine,

We are left with questions, uncertain and perplexed,

What is the purpose of these fleeting connections,

And how do they shape our journey's direction?

Together, let us ascend and welcome the mysterious allure,

For within these quests, our souls discover their true nature,

Exploring the realm of absence and presence, we tread,

Embracing life's ebb and flow, with unwavering strength ahead.
