I Remember

I remember

Your eyes,
Your hollow stare

Of an Empty day
As deaths white horse
In shadows and light
Transforming eclipse

Nothing is real.

Convince me
Touch the past

Alter my face
With squandered breath
And chosen grace

Peer through windows
Stranded awe
Into a world of dangerous intent
Your peace

Each step unseen
Brings me life

Colors my soul
Cleanses my temple
In moments of stillness
Reveals time shape


I remember.

  2. There is sadness at the beginning of the poem, Alan......which seems to transition to reflection at the end. I don't know if I am correct or not, but I see in this poem the poet observing an elderly person with Alzheimers & coming to terms with it.

  3. Coming to terms with a person living in a condition is a challenge for his loved ones. Very well put Alan
