Memory of a leaf

Silly breezes, caressing my nape
like tiny ripples of love
sensations churning inside me
and I’m floating like a leaf
happily fallen from the rut
called tree…and I float
forlornly…caressed by the four
winds, taking me somewhere
where I’m meant to be. Down
the falls, whirlpools & ripples
I see the deepest valleys
the strangest of lives
I see sullen fishermen
hopeless dangling worms,
Pelicans at raid, fishes in myraids
I see maidens at dark, wet feet
and minds at call for celestial demons
I see how waves are made,
I see how the moon silvers from
plainness, I see where the sun dips
I see boats and stories ,emerging
to sink in the waves.
I float, seeing all, feeling all
wet & decaying and happy on my way
to some unforeseen bottom
where I would rest forever, in remembrance
of all that had touched me.
And I would smile in death
when the same wind shreds me to bits
or the ripples choke me to death
or the stagnancy rotting me in parts,
I would feel it all, I would take it all
& keep it safe, inside my memory
memory of a leaf!
