All was quiet,
The early evening was upon us.
My lover was sitting quietly,
Almost asleep,
So to the conservatory I went.
Put on the gentle sound of Chet
And sat down at my puzzle.
The joy of those few minutes so profound,
Just me, Chet, my puzzle and the evening,
A beautiful evening.
In my own world,
A world lost from normality,
The normality of my life,
My life of living two lives,
Mine and my lover’s dementia.
A rare evening,
Such a rare time,
Such a wonderful evening.
