Dancing Nowhere

A thought about Alzheimer's...

Dancing Nowhere

Locked inside a changing mind

While others search for the key.

Tremendous effort spent to find

A way to set them free.

Day by day, sweet memories go

Till there is nothing left but breath.

Their own children they do not know,

Unrecognized unto their death.

When at the end their memory

Fails to find a breath of air,

God turns the key and sets them free

From a life of dancing nowhere.
