Alzheimer
It is like missing the gap
and don’t even mis it.
a contra-dictionary to the fullest
brought to you by the fallen state we’re all in
creating plaques al over the brain
as your memories fall down like a disturbing rain
no pill or syringe offering relief
Alzheimer
even able to wipe out what one believes
to wipe out whom we love and lifelong cared for
its like a piece of music written without coda
losing the notes bar by bar
even tempo is slowing down unaware of
every nick of time is gone before you even know it.
First sign is the man of which you forgot the name
or when he had his last birthday
Carkeys keys in general
still knowing where they’re used for
but forgetting where you’ve put them
Alzheimer
is forgetting words
is forgetting functions of daily used tools
not remembering why using a fork or spoon
is like eating with your hands
grabbing like a child for his food
Alzheimer is fading out
without reprise
no encore
not even knowing
you have left the stage for good.
through an unseen door
I sincerely hope and pray
you will see from eye to eye
behind the edge of time
and be embedded in His Grace.
