Turned Inside Out (c) Candice James
Wandering into Alzheimer's night /
I'm fading away from reality's light.//
I've forgotten the words to your favourite song /
and the lyrics to mine don't seem to belong. /
I can't differentiate between right and wrong /
and the memories I cherished are now lost and gone. //
I reach for my cane as my hands start to shake /
I can't recall when my bones didn't ache. /
I look in the mirror and see a white streak /
has replaced the black strands of my widow's peak. /
Then my mind starts to wander. My eyes glaze over. /
I'm a child again running through fields of clover. //
But still there are things I barely remember /
and January's now just a prolonged December. /
I've learned many things from my sojourn on earth. /
There's two sides to everything; each of great worth. /
A whisper's the other side of a shout /
and today is just yesterday turned inside out.
There are many subjects and emotions addressed in this wonderful book of contemporary rhyming power poetry. It is truly a gem in this world of mostly free verse poetry. These poems and this book will never become dust in the wind. It will withstand the tides of time.
