Lights Out

When the lights go dim
And we no longer visualize 
But a shadow in the distance 

We look hard
Only to a blur
Through a glimmer of light
Slowly vanishing 
Til one
Can no longer see

reminded me of my mother and her losing her eyesight over a couple of years, and this poem reminded me of my taking care of her during that experience before she passed. Thank you, I appreciate the poem for giving me a great memory.
