A Journey Lost

Title: A Journey Lost

In Louisiana’s land rich and grand,
A grandmother went, guided by a hand,
Seeking solace for a throbbing pain’s command,
To the hospital, her steps did withstand.

A mere headache, she thought, a fleeting distress,
Little did she know, a fate to acquiesce,
Her memory laced with a nostalgic caress,
Awakening with silence, a chasm to address.

A web of time’s threads, merciless, yet frayed,
Thirty years suddenly veiled, concealed in a haze,
Recollections lost, mindscape’s colors fade,
A bewildered soul embarks on a path remade.

Sorrowful moments forgotten, cherished joys astray,
Faces unfamiliar, like puppets in a play,
Whispers of loved ones, echoing their dismay,
But a fire flickers, hope’s gentle ray.

With every passing day, she yearns to reclaim,
Glimmers of her essence, as if in a dream,
Grasping at fragments, memories in her aim,
Desperate to rekindle, what life did reclaim.

Through resilience and love, she finds her grace,
Piecing together life’s scattered embrace,
Finding strength in unfamiliar space,
Her journey unfolds, reclaiming her place.
