Lost!

Lost! Can't think Can't write In the darkness need some light Mind's in a whirl in a twist in a turn in a chocolate swirl Can't find my bottom can't find my top don't know where to start don't know where to stop Can't find my way don't know what to say I'm upside down I feel like a clown Who am I? Where am I? Where's the world? Where's the sky? What's the matter? Where's all the chatter? Where's everybody gone? Am I the only one left? Is it only I that's left to die?

Sounds like my 'Being and Nothingness!' Clever rhyming and neat staccato phrasing. Well done Maryam! Best wishes, Keith

I will tell you what my counselor said when discussing Death. She said are you afraid to be dead? I said no. She said so you're afraid of the process of dieing. I said yes. She said well, you've been dieing since the moment you were born. Why worry now? Light & Love Debbie Guzzi

You couldn't have written a better poem to suit my needs today than this one . . . For two weeks my wife has been in and out of hospitals . . . Alzheimer's I'm afraid . . . It has been topsy-turvy . . . Thank you for saying what I've been thinking . . . By the way, it was done superbly too . . .
