Wandering how to begin;

Yesterday I walked where I pleased

But that was then.

Should I know her? Should I know him?

Surroundings are vague as are these faces

But I don’t remember my joys and pains

In yesterday’s places.

So, I begin what I have begun,

Repeating what I said just moments ago;

Trapped between confusion and lost,

Can you tell me who I am, if you know?

To my loves, my friends and my life.

I greet you as if we just met each other;

Please think of me as I was,

For, I do not recall our moments together.

My peaks have eroded, creating a canyon,

Hold me close to your heart

For those fleeting times

When I remember you again.

Yesterday's Places

Standing at the beginning

Wandering how to begin;

Yesterday I walked where I pleased

But that was then.

Should I know her? Should I know him?

Surroundings are vague as are these faces

But I don’t remember my joys and pains

In yesterday’s places.

So, I begin what I have begun,

Repeating what I said just moments ago;

Trapped between confusion and lost,

To my loves, my friends and my life.

I greet you as if we just met each other;

Please think of me as I was,

For, I do not recall our moments together.

My peaks have eroded, creating a canyon,

Hold me close to your heart

For those fleeting times

When I remember you again.

This is exquisite in its razor sharp inside- looking- out view of dementia.
You demonstrate a keen ability to immerse yourself in others to be able to describe so vividly what you have not experienced.
You have spoken of this illness with tenderness and compassion. I suspect that you are not easily deceived and are a man to be reckoned with.
Well done.
