A Visit

Lids drooping,

eyes glazed

wandering lazily

unfocussed

around the room.

The words are clear

but not the meaning.

Ideas float between

reality and fantasy

and back again.

Memories

and people from the past

leap into the present.

The present fades.

Joys and sorrows

true and imagined

struggle for presence.

A fist clamped in frustration,

the face contorts

and the eyes narrow

but that memory,

that fact,

that important point

refuses to come.

The eyes wander lazily

again.

But this I know

and hold firm

that the heart and soul

behind those fading eyes

are in His hands!
