Remember

First breaths are harder these days
eventhough I seem to be rising well
before you peek your head, my sun

my walk a little slower these days
with each step I can feel the pain
my wounds they have healed but
inside scars just won't fade away

where have you gone to, my friends 
I can barely make out your call
is it in the winds you have blown
and can't find your way back home

where have you gone, my love
I only see shadows dancing at dawn
is it here where you pleasantly roam
amongst the flowers and dear fawn

oh where have I gone to, this time ??
I can't seem to even remember 
my name

Tim, this is a great poem. It reads so smoothly. I have to admit, I have felt this same way at times.

I think if there was a boat of poets with these feelings, we'd be sailing in it.In fact it would probably sink from being over crowded. Great poem and a fav.
