I remember

I remember

I remember nostalgia

I remember cordial summers

I remember docile winters

I remember festive monsoons

I remember inviting meadows

I remember majestic mountains

I remember snow masking sorrows

I remember the sun painting its masterpiece

I remember the sweet breath of nature

I remember its ominous presence

I remember love in every fruit

I remember passion in every bird’s poetry

I remember mystery in the prayer flags

I remember relief in the hot soup

I remember perfection in the water

I remember magic in the poison ivy

I remember clarity in the waterfall

I remember home in the midst of nature

I remember brilliance in the past

I remember nostalgia
