Memories
Memories
Have you ever had a memory, that caves,
gets up and haphazardly, daunts away?
The hand that threw the rock and first,
to have promised me it would stay?
Sad to say, I have lost, way way more,
then I can justifiably, say I have saved.
Wandering in a memorandum cemetery,
a path, laden by bread crumbs not paved.
An elusive book, full of memoirs, lurking
outside my front and back door.
peeping through closed windows, as I ask,
without recollection, what it was here for?
Repeatedly stressing, it knew all about me,
quite quick and prompt, I did reply.
“life these days, is like a book on its last page,
and my memories now, they tend to hide.”
Interconnected and coincidentally, each is joined,
as colors in a rainbow, so sharingly do.
If they are what binds us, morally to this life,
than my collection, is now well below, (just a few).
Jim
About poem: On set of Alzheimer and the memories that realized where they had originated and tried to return back home to the origin but the afflicted individual, didn't remember having any ties with the lost collection of memories.

Hello Cherie,
Thanks for the response to this piece and so very sad to hear about your grandfather and grandmother and you in a nutshell just explained the same scenario my step father went through, before he died.It was sad to look into a face, that was always there in heart but the mind had left him, a long long time ago.. A daily fight, was he subjected to have fought, against his will with this thief of precious memories and how it slowly eats at and erodes, the value of a life and those precious memories of loved ones, they once knew and loved so dearly....So sad, so very sad...Appreciate the compliment but to reach the status (you, T.,Flowers,Nardine,The Bee,Shirley P.,Sparrowsong, Morris Derry, Rose Sho, Keisha, Williamj M.,Jason Brown Chris C. and many more that wasn't mentioned), have acquired, i've got to get back on my grind once again...You folks are heavy hitters and are very much admired by all....xoxo Jim
