May not be a poem exactly and I can only recall a few words or genearal theme. It seems like it is about flowers or something that withers or fade. I believe the last line is...follow me. Does anyone have any idea of what i'm talking about and where I can find this poem? Thanks!

I take it this is by Gaiman? It isn't ringing any bells right away, but if it's Gaiman, let me know if it's from a comic or a text and I'll dig through the stacks and see what I can find

I was thinking comic. A freind posted a pic of Sandman with the poem. I can't find it anywhere now. Thank you!

I FOUND IT - Finally!
Flowers gathered in the morning,
Afternoon they blossom on,
Still are withered in the evening:
You can be me when I'm gone.
The fortune cookie, in The Kindly Ones

Is this the one?
quote:

"All around me darkness gathers,
Fading is the sun that shone;
We must speak of other matters:
You can be me when I'm gone.

"Flowers gathered in the morning,
Afternoon they blossom on,
Still are withered by the evening.
You can be me when I'm gone."


It's from The Kindly Ones, vol. 7 of the Sandman series. As far as I know, Neil did write it.

Neil did write it. According to the Sandman companion, there are more verses to it which haven't been published
