The Forgetting
Mellowing mind
filled with memories
fading like the light
at dusk
Cobwebbed corners
of her brain try
desperately to recall
faces and names
that once came so easily
She begins a sentence
as if nothing has changed
yet in seconds time stops
and she wonders
where she is
Thoughts float like
butterflies and at times
the mind clears like
a warm, sunny day
At other times it's
like looking through
fog and thinking back
she remembers a name,
calling out she does
not realize it is her own...

About Me
- MoonAngel
- I love writing poetry and certainly hope that you will enjoy my words. Whether they inspire, motivate or touch your heart, I hope that you can relate to these writings and find your own poetry within. I enjoy life and making people feel good about themselves. I practice Yoga, Reiki and believe light work and positive reinforcement is the best thing you can do for others. I have much to learn in life and believe that if we aren't learning, we aren't growing, and in fact, we aren't living...
