WILL YOU REMEMBER ME?

In the turbulence of your life
In the rush of activities
Will you remember me,
Or will you forget

Will the pain of leaving,
The pain of losing
A day to day delight
Of human contact
Overwhelm me?

I am standing at the threshold
Of a new phase
Hoping to find new pleasures
Perhaps a soothing contentment

A rare tranquility,
Slowly realizing that|Being alone is a human condition.
I have left behind the carnival of life
I have to learn to walk alone

To live without the smiling faces
That welcomed me
Listened to me raptly
This is the dilemma of

A passionate teacher
How will I find meaning in existence
Without Communication
Without the daily sustenance

Of upturned faces
Looking up to me in trust
Expecting me to perform miracles
And clear even their smallest doubt
