    Dear Devika
    That was a lovely piece from you as usual.
    But I am intrigued by the use of the word 'Serendipity' for the title and the conclusion of the poem. Serendipity is something fortuitous that is usually connected with some good tiding.

    To understand my perception of serendipity better, I looked at Wikipedia and found the following interesting definitions:

    "Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you've found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for."
    "In reality, serendipity accounts for one percent of the blessings we receive in life, work and love. The other 99 percent is due to our efforts."
    "Serendipity is looking in a haystack for a needle and discovering a farmer's daughter."

    Your poem,except for the concluding line, is expressive of all the anguish that the man caused in her. Reading it, one can not help feeling that she is better off without him! Is this what, you are implying by the word 'serendipity'. Is it your reckoning that with his exit from her life, she can hope for better tomorrow?
    Sri
