It happens sometimes

At the crack of dawn, wide awake -
They began to wander, first ambling,
Then picked up speed, like horses
Freed- let out in an open field.
There was no way to hold them back.
I felt them vacate my mind leaving
A vacuum - those fickle thoughts!

My Search - a spontaneous write

I walked many miles,
In search of happiness,
But it deluded me.

I ran many miles,
In search of peace,
But it avoided me.

I swam many miles,
In search of freedom,
But it dodged me.

Finally, I decided
To return home,
And cherish what I had.

Plagued by Dementia

The beauty of fall
is lost on her.
She tries to recall,
Who she is
and where she lives.
They tell her
they're her family.
But they all look
so unfamiliar.
Can someone help her,
overcome her dark fear?
