Onset of Winter

Early winter dew 
                          perched on leaves of oak melt,
                          dripping buds of jasmine

The Onset of Crestfallen Poetry

Stifled tears
Recorded in
The pages of
An old diary
Made immortal
In the hearts of
Kindred souls
Awakened
By the dawns of
Early light
Cradled thoughts
Luminous indeed
A way for the soul to
Release its many burdens of
Life and lost love

Onset of Winter In May

Wintereinbruch im Mai / Onset of Winter in May / Comienzo del invierno en mayo  

Tanz der Schneeflocken
beim Wintereinbruch im Mai
Scheu eine Amsel


Dance of the Snowflakes
onset of winter in May
a timid blackbird 


Danza de  nieve
el invierno en mayo
un mirlo tímido

Early Onset Alzheimers

No sleep tonight
my dreams upset my mind
it's all about
losing thoughts to time

It's like I was never young
nor hearty, nor hale
like disabilities came early
and wiped my memory clear

Now I worry
what will happen
when my thoughts are no longer honed
I'll just lie there, lost...depressed...alone

Murphy For Trophy

At a time he should have been set
Murphy became rather upset.
Scott had this guessed at the outset
But not how to Murphy reset.
Scott could only pray that Murphy
Go home with the cherished trophy;
With loss his room might seem stuffy
And unusable seats fluffy...

But setbacks checked at their onset
Required one who was preset
And Ben Murphy–photo inset
Didn't look a pin the preset.

Premium Member The Onset of Old Age

The Onset of Old age Written: by Miracle Man 1-20-2019 Was when our get up and go, Had suddenly skedaddled. And with serious health issues, We suddenly found ourselves saddled. But this hasn't left us, Entirely broke Just slightly bent. Leaving nothing to fight over, Has become our intent. At death, what remains, Those feeling entitled will fight. Seeing our death's as a windfall, And perhaps their birthright?

Early Onset Dementia

Each day a new memory is lost. 

As if reality is a series of nothingness. 

So that things that just happened-

Can be undone. 

It feels like the past can be shifted by a whisper. 

The voices tell me it’s dangerous to remember…

I can feel some pain that I can’t remember…

It is as if there is some kind of crisis that I forgot about…

But each new day, there is a chance to undo.

Which is refreshing. 

Even as my family waves goodbye.

It was just here yesterday, 
I remembered your smile.
But my thoughts, they don't stay.
They haven't for awhile.

I know it's not far off
when your smile will be new.
I won't remember it.
I won't remember you.

Memories are the one thing
we think will never leave.
But this disease takes everything,
that's now what I believe.

So smile for me now
while I still know it's you.
The next time that you see me
I may think you're someone new.
