I Thought

It echoes as if it is a tomb This once upon enlightened room The chalk and dust are so long gone The faces of friends became undrawn She too, my other, is no longer around The leaves of lore are colored brown Always I look but I cannot find The busy stranger erasing my mind

I think it is terrific that a stranger is "erasing your mind". My father had alzheimers and I am sure he felt exactly that way. Thank you for this one.

Caren, thanks, I went back and tweaked it a bit (but kept that elusive stranger where he was).
