Wow! This is so bittersweet that it is beautiful. I\'ve never seen the experience of Alzheimer\'s presented in such a graphic yet understanding way. It is a tearjerking poem, yet I felt it as a clearly visual scene. Just wonderful. - Phil A.

BRILLIANT!!!
\'It’s funny how they still hold the faint scent of mothballs and lavender
Here are memories of life and love
Of promises kept and hopes deferred\'
\'I desperately need to visit each, one last time
So I carry them into the garden and we spend a lovely afternoon together
Reminiscing, laughing, crying\'
(even devoid of the Alzheimer\'s context
these sentiments of longing
ring true for most of us
\'as time goes by\')
you have me in tears, kind Poet
thank you!

Some memories hold a sweet scent, others a bitter taste. But embracing them all together shows how much one has matured.

Heart-wrenchingly real and heartbreakingly sad .. I know for a fact, both professionally and from personal experience of insidiously loosing loved ones and those I hold dear .. the beast is so indiscriminate and has no pride whatsoever .. it touches and steals away whomsoever it pleases .. I seriously pray that before too long, it will have had its day by virtue of new and innovative medical advances .. Sadly this must surely now be my favouwrite Bella Shepard post to date .. Neville 💜

This is often sadder for those watching than those that go through it. What they often experience is confusion and frustration. Those lucky enough to be trapped in a good spot are happy and those trapped in a sad spot relive times of sadness in their lives. You have written this with such a haunting feel Bella it does somehow feel lost. So well done.

When Trees Go To Sleep
L. B. Mek said:
i too am a tree lover, dear Poet
have also penned a few tributes
for those wrinkled conduits
to wisdom
and serenity\'s art of stillness
thank you!
and yeah Autumn is a season
for healing and hoping
\'And when they are done the trees heave a sigh
And bowing their heads know that winter is nigh
For this grand array of color will last
But briefly as do their dreams of the past
Then these tiny creatures bid a fond goodnight
And retire for winter filled with joy and delight\'

Omg this is divine!!! Bella, your analogy of these \"embers\" paint such a vivid picture of the hope we must sustain while treading through life\'s tribulations. I adore this poem. You\'re words never fail to resonate on such a deep level.

To Ignorance
L. B. Mek said:
(in our text conversation
on Eclectic and Oneness
I remembered reading this poem of yours
months ago, but didn\'t have the time then
to read it thoroughly and digest
it completely
and so, came back to read it again
and was grateful
my little brain remembered it)
simply Brilliant, dear cherished Poet
if we could serve a cup of this
realism flavoured wisdom
to humanity, half our problems
would be resolved, in a sip
thank you!
\'Beware of us who walk this earth
Within our souls there lies a dearth
Of what we once called decency
Of love, compassion, honesty\'
Amen!
(\'Trapped in a world
of abundant wilful Ignorance
as sonciety\'s most, Prevalent
and kind, Consideration
rendered, mere Irrelevance\'
from one of my old scribbles)

Like the Sun by day and the Moon and Stars by night light is essential to life and the soaring of the soul. Good thing that embers catch and spread, anything that is flammable can be ignited so as to keep the flame alive.

Brilliant!
life-affriming poetry, at its accessible
Best!
(sunrays, transmuted as lava heat
echoes of existence embers
we traverse paths, engraved
by ashes of nourishing graveyards
hopes and wishes, as legacy
paving our own cyclic paths
wisdom as our guide, allowing us
season\'s of blooming, breath
and then, back we join that chorus
of energy embers, in waiting
for another chance, to get it right..)

So well said. Like fire itself, we can not afford to let them go out. They bring the warmth that brings comfort to life and provide us with the tools that enable us to nurish ourselves and make the tools necessary for further advancement.

Neville said:
surely there must be some valid reason why I have not arrived here before now ..
sapiential knowledge and associated awareness are worth their weight in gold .. regardless ..
and this little pearl of wisdom is frightfully true, exceptionally well crafted and a fine example of the classic 575 model I always admire when expertly assembled .. 10/10 :)

Amen!
(so timely, so true, such purity of sincere
empathy, unable to watch-on
as those around you
so adamantly, curate their own
suffering and demise
this be an impassioned roar, to
Haiku
and awaken awareness
to so many, lost
in their mirage of self-deluding
Manus dare...)
Brilliant!

Desperate isn\'t the word for it......no, no it IS the word, Bella - I was just hunting for something more extreme.
Today, it would seem, a rational statement is no longer rational if someone somewhere is \'triggered\' by that statement.
I could blather on about this shift in human discourse for a really long time................................
