Her Lost Treasure
Oh god your world is declining in
Silence and darkness, yet at times, the
Mind holds the attention of your beauty
Even when stories and words of the
Past, present, and future get more
difficult to search, she doesn't cease searching
I've known dark tunnels and roads of steel.
Slow moving trains, whistling in bending curves,
still I roll into the station with a smile.
I've marveled many morning's silver sunflowers
In distance sky, smiling, and later fading into the
Evening's refulgent colors
Now, left fumbling in the dark.
Where's the switch that turns the light
On my brain's anthology
Oh god…where are You…WHO…?
me…or YouandMe…One?
Your treasured words lost with mine
Now I lay silent in green grass wrapped in
A cold clay blanket to rest in nothingness
to become a lovely flower rotating life>>>

(Seeing a poem in the rapid demise of a friend's mind/memory gives cause to weep for her and my own mortality!)
