wanting to – remember

needing to – remember

yet unable to – remember…

(thoughts strewn random – un-collectable).

 

pleading,

desperately –

yet adamant.

the mind –

however,

unyielding…

(uncontrolled chaos – borderline dementia).

 

memories collected –

haphazardly –

disorganized sanity…

(thin, the line between what is and what should be).

 

and standing guard –

the one called – father –

ageless sentinel

surveying all –

yet seeing –

nothing!
