Forgotten Recollections Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Saddened by recollections, stark and vivid, not
letting mind's eyes get any sleep.

Lofty, soaring, falling into caves of dementia
to avoid truths of reality abounding throughout
life.

Smashing head-long into depths of cement,
hardening thoughts without recompense.

Whatever has been is always now, so walking away
on recollection's path, a sublime feeling, full of
joy at never again remembering anything.
