wanting to – remember

needing to – remember

yet unable to – remember…

(thoughts strewn random – uncollectable)

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 –

seeing –

nothing!
