Forget Me Not... Poem by Ruta Mohapatra

Little bird black and shiny
Hopping and singing in the tree
Forget me not, it says
You may not see me again
I may not see you too

Green mangoes swaying and bowing
Whispering among green leaves
Today we are here, you are there
Who knows what will happen tomorrow
For a while let us tete-a-tete

White clouds floating in the sky
Glowing with silver and gold
Wink as they pass me by
We are fluffy, you are healthy today
Together as water we will flow someday

The sun joins in the talk
As it yawns and prepares to sleep
We are one and the same, my child
You are so much a part of me!
Remember me when to dust we both turn
