Laying alone in my recliner
hard to move now
My eyes see everything
yet my eyes see nothing at all
Vivid memories bombard my mind
while I can’t remember what day it is
Still my eyes watch the memories
that play behind closed eyelids
Ami, thanks for sharing this with me for Poetry Partners!
I’ve posted and responded to it here at The Skeptic’s Kaddish:
Much love ❤

Perhaps, although the human brain has the capacity to “eventually” learn and retain so much more …. If ever we can as a species, let go of ego and concentrate on the betterment of our kind – instead of the destruction of self.

I believe they retain memories or partial images even if they do not recognize what they are seeing. I hope they are warm memories and not too painful. 🙏
