This poem carries a somber note as if in a minor key. It feels as if it were a dirge and Mozart\'s Lacrimosa were playing. Nicely done my friend.

Norman, what a tender and heartbreaking portrayal of love enduring the erosion of memory. Identity fades, but the brother’s loyalty remains constant and asks for nothing in return. This moved me deeply, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Watching the demise of a loved one is gut wrenching.
Alzheimers is a horrible disease, bit by bit it takes someone till nothing\'s left.
Hope your brother is comfortable.

Very relatable. I just respond as if it were my name they are calling and wonder in my turn how I would fare. Most touching dear friend 🕊️🙏🏻

So sad in most cases. I have worked with many and to see them not recognize a daughter or son or even a spouse is tragic not just for them in their fear of abandonment but for the one not recognized. Yet in a few lucky ones they seem frozen in a happy place where all are familiar and the time was golden. If it should happen to me I would wish to be one of those lucky ones. A poignant and touching write.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow, Norman...this is dark, thoughtful, and deeply human. There’s fear in it, but also a stripping away of all the old accounting...success, failure, pride, regret. By the end, what remains feels stark and honest. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

It seems in this poem of good rhyme that dualities are compared and in the end it really does not matter all is to be forgotten. Very nicely done the message most subtly sent. Death is the great leveler

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow, Norman...this is restrained and deeply sad. The routine is still there, the shared history is still there, but the warmth between them has almost completely drained away. You captured that distance beautifully, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Wow, Norman...this is heavy and deeply reflective. The sense of old pain finally being brought to an end gives the whole piece a real finality. There’s sorrow in it, but also release. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I looked at the endless list of poets who ended up committing suicide - because just once they forgot to burn their words and believed them...Let\'s be careful and keep lying !

This poem could have many interpretations but the first that came to my mind was something written that left a burning impression, whether misinterpreted or whether the message was meant it burned. Nicely written

Simply lovely this poem literal and metaphorical dazzles the ear and imagination. The breaking dawn and the promise that it holds of a new day a new beginning. Very nicely imaged with rhyme as well. A lovely write and a fave
