No Return

Postby Tom Balch » Sun Jan 17, 2016 12:25 pm

The journey now is much akin
to barren long left towns
where tumbleweed drifts aimlessly
between the old ramshackle homes,

with slow despondent footfalls
along deserted dusty streets,
blackened windows and boarded doors
echo all of life’s defeats,

a woebegone and broken soul
with no hope or chance to find
a way to get back what was lost
since the passing of the mind,

and with the darkness comes the cold night air
coupled with that vacant...Dementia stare.

Chilling thoughts Tom and you have described the despondency so very well; such a living nightmare for those who still have glimpses of normality and then lapse back into muddle they can't find their way out of.The "Stare" being a sad mark of nothingness.

Good to see you posting again my friend :)
