Music of Times Gone By

She wanders the halls in a world of her own lost in an era of bygone times with faltering steps, to the day room she goes softly humming the tune of a lullaby. Time rewinds, she sways 'neath his youthful gaze his deep voice whispers into her ear her lined face shines, frail arms raise to embrace dancing to the music only she can hear. Written on 9/30/2015

We both handled this contest the same way, with insanity. I enjoyed yours, it is very pretty ... CayCay

Thanks for your comments, CayCay. I loved your poem, and this one was coming from the angle of a woman who has dementia, but remembers the old days well (as least that was the perspective in my mind!)

I just read another poem, with the same line "Dancing to music only she can hear.".. I'm guessing it is for the same contest... This is deep, I have enjoyed this poem. LINDA
