Arrivals

2781

Here at arrivals, sights I see. 

A suntanned Chinaman fresh from Fiji

Blond haired women, sunnies on their eyes 

Maori mother with a tattooed chin, 

Now there's a surprise. 

An older man looking like cash 

Visiting Sydney 

With his handlebar moustache 

Excited children 

Family reunions 

Flowers and kisses 

Reminds me how slack I am when it comes to my misses.

Smiling faces

Others looking lost 

The joy to be here

Not counting the cost. 

I like arrivals 

And this is why 

The people are happy 

Departures we cry.

        Arrivals are always the best… Departures not so much, except perhaps for fleeing the worst that pursues…

          Departures are not all misery, especially in your case.
          Go easy, with the old fella.
