~A day spent my way~There was a time when I could feel my feet
That place a space where they and the earth did meet
Now these days the hands do shake
Like the earth of old lands did quake
I try to smile and laugh each day
While slowly all my feeling fades away
No sense of smell or pleasure from touch
Can’t even figure out what to have for lunch
Paint gives me peace a sort of release
Till two flights and a landing layover
Keep me at bay
Face slips and slides as my smile fades
A mask of me and things I see
Reflections on a pool of glass
Cracked, frozen, waiting as I always have.
