The mind dims
Like a hallway light
Flicking once
Then settling into dusk
Names loosen
Slipping from their hooks
Soft as old coats
No one claims anymore
Faces blur
Into watercolor ghosts
Edges melting
Like rain on ink
But the heart
It remembers differently
It keeps the warmth
The laughter
The small familiar weight
Of a hand once held.
Even when the mind forgets
The body still knows
The rhythm of love
The shape of comfort
The gravity of someone
Who mattered
Memory care
Isn’t just a place
It’s a gentle holding
A slow returning
A promise whispered
To the fading light
You are still here
You are still known
You are still loved
In the ways
That never disappear
