Remember Me. Poem by RAJ VIKRAM

Remember me.

Remember me on occasions
sparingly and benignly
like a breeze
that wafts along
without slightly shaking
your thinnest hair.

Remember me in your vividest
dreams as a vague presence at least,
I want to be a non descript
shrub in the
inner recesses of the
woods of your mind.

Remember me when you
travel through the highlands
as an ancient rock
with unintelligible engravings.
Don't read me for I have
failed to read me through ages.

Remember me when you travel
through the plains
as a speck of greenery
dancing to the tune of
the winds in wilderness.

Remember me as a bubble
that sprung forth only
to be gobbled up by
the waves that strive to
touch you when you are
on the longest seashore
in this world and nether world.

I exist in such spaces
when you remember me
in between but continually.
And when you see rain
you may see a drop with
a distinct identity.
Yes as long as rains are there
I would exist and I want
to exist in your memories.
