Remind Me

I wedge the door upon the night and pray someone will see a light to value my tenacity Remind me who I used to be While winds, confused, pretend to know, with zephyr breath, they exhale rows, of winds to scatter clouds from me Remind me who I used to be A photograph within my heart has faded, pale, and tossed apart Have I been lost upon the breeze? Remind me who I used to be That I might sleep, and never know if who I am, still matters too Not who I was, that once was me Remind me who I used to be

Well crafted, intricate and with depth despite its honest, forthcoming simplicity. I listen to ambient music when reading your poetry, as such melodies vibrate in resonance with your words, lending perception and adding a confirming spirit.

'A photograph within my heart'... I was hoping and praying that you would enter the contest Carrie and my prayers were answered! Every line is a true gem and the refrain was PERFECT...My interpretation of it is that you are talking to yourself rather than someone else but just in case, I must remind you that you are the best poet on PS and you are BEAUTIFUL inside and out - Tim
