Poetry

The darkness swallows me whole!

There is no escape to this dead

that overcomes my body and mind

It leaves me not wanting much.

Everything I enjoy isn’t important anymore and as I try to shake it off it just multiples.

I can’t seem to think of a solution long enough to care if this feeling goes away.

It sucks me down before I can see the light on the other side.

I try to clear my mind but of what my mind is empty, just like my insides.

  2. rJo Herman – Colorado – I am old now, over 70, with a strong belief in cycles - life, health, political, societal, personal interests...all cycling round and back. I despise pompous *sses, rude and hateful people, idiots. I understand being alone, without feeling lonely. I've climbed my share of hills, looked across some valleys, enjoyed a good sunburn or two. I read, I write, I ink my thoughts on fine paper to share with those I love and admire. I believe in God, and in the power of prayer to enhance lives, effect change, comfort heartbreak. I know when it is time to just stop - tired friendships, exhausting thoughts, nonsense as I see it. and I love sharing ideas, beliefs, activities that add brightness to my life.

    This is how I imagine it must be with Alzheimer’s…cannot grasp the thought quickly enough to know what it is/was…and written with a sense of urgency that the poem will be forgotten before writ. truly enjoyed it!
