Author’s Note: I have written this poem about a man suffering from dementia trying to recall moments from the journey of his life. This piece is inspired by my grandmother, who suffered from the same mental condition before her passing. I always tried to understand what she would feel, if she remembered; this poem is a reflection of memories we make through life’s phases and our state of mind in each of them.

Slowly, They come to me, in my restless mind —
More than a thousand feelings intertwined.
An unseen, unheard, menacing laughter then brews,
Where every thought is a flame, and every silence a word.
Where There Is Music

If there is light, filtering through the snowy branches,Then surely there is music. Follow it through to the awning.Everything here has been waiting for you since your ancestors
Broke the quiet dawn over fire, revealing that element
That makes things heavy in the presence of light;
Because where there are people, float barley and laughter, . . .
