The Terminal

It's where it begins
and where it ends.
A time for sadness
and a time for joy.

Waiting patiently
for new arrivals,
as reluctantly ebbs
A coming departure.

A women runs to
the arms of her lover.
He twirls her around
In an endless embrace.

A mother watches
as her son departs.
He walks to his future
as she wipes her tears.

An endless cycle,
forever more.
A welcome arrival,
and a sad farewell.
