Love’s Sweet Interruption

Poetry

2  comments

When someone you love is diagnosed with dementia as a caregiver your own life gets turned inside out as well. In fact probably even more as the caregiver. But really who knows? All of us are having our own experiences through our personal realities. Who are any of us to say what's real or not real in any given moment for anyone else. 

For me poetry and music have been consistent ways to examine emotions and personal growth the experience gifts me. Recently, I have found myself, once again, pulling at the threads my emotions through poetry. Some how by placing one word next to another I am able to find peace with grief. But even more powerful, I have been able to unravel the gift of the journey. 

Here are two of my most recent poems:

a cardinal rests
it’s frozen reflection
~ encapsulated
your colorful life stilled
in a lake of memories

Love’s Sweet Interruption

Lost in an inner world
the outside world is an interruption
ensnaring hearts in isolation.

Love jumps the hurdles
that muddle autism’s path,
helping one become a couple.

The story makes the news
and travels the nation
soon they will say their “I do’s !”

A mother’s fear flees
in a gust of hope. Her own son’s
tender passions… a possibility.

An agreement between life and love…
fulfillment in every realm.
giving solitude a shove.
