Closure

All's well, that ends well
is a well known adage.
But, what's well for one
may not quell another.
Feelings and emotions
When felt, will tell.

But, closure is important
even if the subject is potent
When done well, it almost, 
always leads to a
new beginning from 
where it ends!

A beginning of faith
and renewed friendship
A ray of hope to claim 
our minute to fame
A new and fun journey 
in pursuit of happiness.

Happiness, that begins
with short moments of joy
when we admire 
the beauty of small things
in life, our life!
All's well, that ends well.

This piece of work was inspired by the virtual reunion of my school friends. It was an evening of joy and laughter when we as adults had to be told off by our children to watch our behaviour. An evening of rendezvous with friends spread across the globe. Friends who as a last minute request rendered their heart through song and music. A small group of us collaborated for a few weeks to put up this show. When the curtains closed there was this falling, of last day at school, once again!

Dedicating this to all my friends from school ..the Marubadiyum 92 batch.
