Erased, erased from the memory, erased by a forgetfulness brought on by a disease, erased and such a shame, such a tragedy, erased and such a misery, erased and such a heartache, erased and plagued by such forgetfulness, such frustration, and such irritation. Erased, oh, how cruel Alzheimer’s is, and how cruel the tricks it […]

Do you, for things in life, do you beg, and do you plead, do you cry such tears from the want inside, and do you die, do you die a little every time, every time that you do not receive what you want to receive? Do you believe in luck, do you in life, do […]

Day, dawn, sunlight, yawn. Day, dawn, no time to mourn, for the blackness of night has passed, and the stars and the moon have gone quickly away, quickly away at last, and here I am, awake, with my thoughts rising as if the streams and the rivers, the streams and the rivers that flow so […]
