Ever had a thought, one that is so vivid yet absent of time place and who were there, yet vivid.


Poem Artwork

Wish I did

but in reality I have not a clue

no idea who.

They trod inside my head

left footprints everywhere

I am sure I know them

from somewhere.

It irritates my mind

wondering who they are

the footprints they left

in someway are familiar.

Yet who

it bugs me

just will not go away

why would I think about someone

not know their name.

Day's have passed

weeks for sure

still this who

knocks on my mental door,

the impression they have left

it has to be someone known

for why would it erk me

why can I not leave it alone.

A well expressed poetic piece. Memory is fading for all of us who are over 50, 60 and so forth. M mother is over 90 and she forgets where she went to eat and who she just played cards with. I just hope and pray she will always recall her family. So far she is doing pretty well. My advice to help the memory is to eat a lot of blueberries and get a lot of sleep.

Perhaps you are getting inside of someone with dementia. I find myself having a very hard time remembering names these days. I expect before long, I may not remember faces or even who in the hell is, "inside my head."

Let's hope it never comes to that… For anyone.

Reminds me of not being able to remember how I know someone. I rack my brain for days, then the slow computer in my brain gives me the answer when it's good and ready.
