FOR GREGORY. He was not a VICTIM of ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE, he was a HERO!

PLEASE NOTE: Even though this blog is now dormant there are many useful, insightful posts. Scroll back from the end or forward from the beginning. Also, check out my writer's blog. Periodically I will add posts here if they provide additional information about living well with Dementia / Alzheimer's Disease.

At War

An explosion of self
A howl of despair
I turn inward
Self falls to the floor
In a crumpled heap


An interaction gone astray
No I am mistaken
It is on target
With Alzheimer’s
It always wins


The tears arrive
Dropping from the sky
Momentary relief
One moment’s worth
Until the next strike


I look to the sky in fear
There is no shelter
Only more explosions
Of self
As I seek balance
