I think of you,
my mind goes blank.
My thoughts have dimmed,
as my memory fades,
away from the reality of
these days so frail.
The times are compromised
by the politicalness of vaccinations.
Why do you feel your rights are
being attacked. It's about Health
and safety. Get vaccinated.
Wear a mask, until this pandemic
is over, please.

Do you miss me,
like you said you would,
or has this old, heart,
hardened into a dense wood?

I will write of the dust,
clogging the fissures which remain.
A mental cleaning, of grey cells,
should not happen, anytime soon,
unless the Moon is my objective.
No more romance, no more love
of another, just the Lord above.

Hello my siblings.
Hello to my friends.
Say goodbye to this year
of ending events.
Throw out the old,
retain all which is new,
for the year 2022
is now upon you.
Time to stop and pause,
accessing your life,
once more again,
avoiding strangers,
stay 6 feet away.
Get vaccinated
and keep wearing your mask.
Be good to others,
It's what we do.
I'll keep this memory,
in my heart, for you.

I look through the glass pane,
in the store front.
Others like me, a young boy of twelve,
had smeared the glass with their noses,
like I was doing now.
Look in the window, of this large
Christmas Display in the Bon Marche
or Frederick and Nelson's.
This event, not Christmas, but the window display,
was every young childs fantasy trip.
Toy train locomotives, were pulling
their cars, across country with bridges
and rivers too. It was a time for
a real view of your imagination.
Always a choice or you could pick,
these two displays in the Holiday Season.
It was all up to you.
Happy Holidays.

Ridges of embers,
glowed in the night.
There was no power,
but we had a light,
a lantern tall and bright,
powered by batteries, "D",
and the dimming light
from the woods dying glow.

Stay close to me,
I'll keep you safe.
Matters not, if adult
or a very small waif.

It was dark
beneath the stair.
A dusty smell
of cobwebs, dry,
alone was I,
but mustn't cry,
for you're brave.
I do know,
you are afraid,
of spiders.

I know your life
has come un-done.
The one you love,
is still the one,
who cherished you back,
when you were down.
No questions asked of the
blind faith, that was,
given to thee. Now here
you are, moving her away,
for better treatment
of this I pray.

I commend you my darling.
You have done very well,
on the frightening journey,
traveling the path of Dementia Hell.

Of all the World
there is to see.
Why oh why
couldn't it be,
a place of
great infamy?
Why must you,
always say,
change is just
a step away?
Enjoy your life,
come what may.
Become the person,
you want to be.
Do it unmercifully.
Then you will see,
how small the World,
can really be.
where everything
is not a conspiracy.

It was a fitting response,
to watch candlelight glints,
in your beautiful eyes
of brown-golden tints.
