The Change

I notice that you have been a member for over two years, I hope that you become more active as we need many views on our poetry, it enhances the works.
Your poem is quiet as if whispered, the use of everybody sounds like a body count it to me is better to use everyone..
Hope to read more of your works,
Yours Ian.T

after my own heart -
'This way we'll never know how happy
we were before we left home.'
(Would 'home' work with a capital 'H')

A few little glitches ( imo I stress)
As you have used the word 'remember' twice (very effectively I might add) in the sixth line of stanza two, do you think it might work better if you used, perhaps, 'recall' in line two of that stanza?

I also found your lines a little staccato - thoughts are disjointed to me because of the way you have broken the lines

For example
'still tarry
searching for the coins others drop
along the path'
... reads smoother to me
or even better...
'still tarry
searching along the path
for the coins others drop'

As does
'Knowing, however
no other trick to heal
most of us resort
to remember to forget to remember'

and also those last two lines (that I love)
'This way
we'll never know how happy we were
before we left home'

I would also suggest you make line breaks after
'It is for your own good'
and 'to remember to forget to remember'
- to make the reader pause between thoughts

And I would drop the line 'as much as they want' - I really think it is superfluous

I again stress, all this is only my opinion

good to see you finally post
And a good post at that
Welcome
Love judy
