Empty Rooms…
I am disappearing with the days, the seasons
My mind no longer holds
the information I need for the future
Too many empty rooms inside my head
Dust, cobwebs, echoing lost moments
No longer can I file thoughts away
to tell my family when they come to see me
By that time, it has gone
into one of those empty rooms
Where I cannot go
I wonder what happens inside those rooms
Do my thoughts and feelings grow without me there?
I hear a song, and memories come flooding back
I am whole again for a day or two
I shut the door on those empty rooms
With yesterday’s dreams
I look forward to a brighter day…

I was thinking of sharing a ‘Look Back at 2024’ post today, but Sis kinda beat me to it with this thought provoking poem. I will be back tomorrow with my post…
We hope you all had a terrific Christmas, despite the weather…
