Special Edition: Sri N Srivatsa

Sri N Srivatsa
Sweet - bitter farewells 

Spring follows winter
like January follows December 
a never-ending cycle 
year after year.

Grandparents, parents,
childhood friends 
and neighbours leave
year after year.

Cousins, siblings,
nephews and nieces 
depart from here
year after year.

Spouse and lover
current and former
die one after the other 
year after year.

When offsprings and pets,
people and places become  
bitter-sweet fading memories,
goodbyes trigger many a tear.
