My father started growing very quiet as Alzheimer's started claiming more of him. The early stages of Alzheimer's are the hardest because that person is aware that they're losing awareness. And I think that that's why my father started growing more and more quiet.

Poetry Via Alzheimer's

“There’s a kind of music
that lives there”
A little old lady with
Alzheimer’s would declare

When asked if she liked
the ocean and the beach
She appeared not to hear,
Nor even to understand speech

Then her eyes brightened
Her lips parted with a wistful smile
Her memory had returned to enlighten
If only for a little while

As this woman fondly remembered..
I could only in amazement stare
She said, ”Oh my yes! ..And There’s a kind
of Music that lives there”

Alzheimer's Disease

Twice,
There would be goodbyes...
Spoken.
With hearts broken.
And words uncertain,
If heard and understood.

~As an essence known,
Would flow to go.~

Twice,
A familiar light of life...
Would flicker to slowly dim.
As those loved ones and friends,
Stood by to witness...
Without a defense to what commenced.

~As an essence known,
Would flow to go.~

euphemistically called flu. Anthrax
used to be called wool sorters'
