memories flickering through
the mists of forgetfulness
flashing sporadically, like
fireflies dancing in the night
slipping a net over them
in a vain bid to hold on
but slithering through the mesh
that my mind had become....
trying desperately to bring
them back by clinging on
struggling to recollect...gasping
for the air of remembrance
names and faces blurring
thoughts churning restlessly
vague recollections of events
distorted by time and space
as if looking at
someone else's life
the fog rolling over and
blotting out the views
losing myself slowly
the people, the events
that made up my life
drifting away from me
moving into blankness
alone and terrified
with my sense of self
wiped out by time....
