New To Me Poetry-Triolet: Memories Fade

Memories fade into the twilight mist;

*confusion-loss* sense of self gone.

Where was I when love first kissed,

memories fade into the twilight mist.

 

Children are treasures sorely missed;

faces of family and friends hidden by curtains drawn.

Memories fade into the twilight mist.

Confusion…loss…sense of self gone.
