This poem was prompted by the phrase "memories leave silently" in the poem "A TIME TO LET GO" written by Silent One and posted on Poetrysoup. I thank him for his inspiration.
“Memories Leave Silently”** The memories leave silently so as not to disturb the now tiptoeing through darkening corridors stirring only motes of hidden dust. Sliding through the grasp of weakened will, unfelt amid the growing numbness now – disconnected from – then how – in search of – why. Eyes search the familiar – for the known lips form words without expression tears – devoid of sting – dry saltless memories leave – silently. John G.
