Remember Me

When you are glum, fed up and exhausted,
Take a walk in solitude, on a deserted footpath
Lost in your thoughts, when you step on
Dry, ill, pale orange leaves, 
Disturbing the silence by their shrieks of protests
When your heart open a window of joy
And your feet actually search for more Crimson leaves
To crush them all beneath

            In all these noisy sweet melodies and colors
            When you forget your pains…. remember me!! 

When you look up at the sky
That changes hues from blue to dark
Then turn into a shower
To purge you along all
And you walk in empty streets soaked in water
And jump mischievously in a pit
To make the muddy waters fly up to hug you
And you smile and do it again, and again, 
              In those joys movements
             when you are yourself, remember me!! 

When you rescue an injured butterfly 
Or watch the splendors of dusk and dawn
And When you walk for hours beneath the stars 
Or wait to see waning gibbous moon raising in dark 
             In these ethereal movements
            when you admire nature, remember me

And when you see a little bird struggling to fly
Or see an old couple sitting on a bench holding hands
Or a kid smiling in their Sleep
            In such pure moments
            when life seems but beauty, remember me!!

You mention such wonderful scenario's Pagunda, each and every one of them would bring joy I totally agree with, but wise of you to chose them - an emotive poem with loads of imagery with which you entertain us. Kudo's my dear friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
