Dementia Sea.

Goldfinch60



Her mind is in a whirl,

So mixed up within her world,

This wonderful woman of mine

Sinking in her dementia sea,

Drowning into the depths within her.

I keep on reaching down

And pull her to the surface,

But each time she sinks quicker

And sinks deeper into her strange world.

I am so afraid that one day

I will not be able to reach her,

Until that time when our Spirits join,

Join in our journey to Eternity.

          May your faith remain ever strong for surely we are challenged in this existence. Faith and hope are our strength, belief is our guide to the 'what will be'.
          We lay naked before belief, clothed only in trust.
          Deeply emotional writing from you today.

              Gold,
              A beautiful, but sad write!
              Can feel the sadness as
              I read your poem. Can
              empathize...my mom
              is almost totally in that
              state! So difficult!

              ~Laura~
