Remember me
when you see sunflowers,
wild roses, a blue sky filled with clouds.
Remember me
when you see a minimal photo —
a yacht, the deep blue ocean, lush green valleys,
stone castles.
Remember me
when you walk the streets of Colombo —
see a sunny evening, the seaside, the sea breeze,
feel the scent of evening dust,
hear the train heading down south.
Remember me
when you sit alone on a park bench,
in isolation, in lonesome,
if not in your solitude.
Remember me
when you go to a flea market —
see crystals, singing bowls,
beautiful pieces of art and craft.
Remember me
when you know it is Sunday —
see our mother, Virgin Mary,
see the empty road,
hear the honk of a bus.
Remember me
when you see the crescent moon,
stars above Mount Beach,
feel the speed of the car to Galle.
Remember me
when you dream of my smile :)
when you think of the end of time,
when you feel the weight of life,
when you doubt existence.
Remember me — just now.
