Remember Me Poem by Nero CaroZiv

Remember me when I am no longer near but gone away
Gone far away into a remote unknown land
When you can no more reach and hold me by the hand
Nor I half hesitantly turn to go, yet prolong the turning stay

Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of life and love netted and planned
Of changes, rehashes and plans you must attend
With courage without pretend or from the truth astray

Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to console, to rebuild or to pray
A murky river falls into the sea in a shore of vast sand
And the swift footed time will claim its prey


Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember again, please do not grieve
For if agony and anguish leave
A morsel of the thoughts that once I had
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than you should ever remember and be sad
