The Flicker

For my mother who suffers from Alzheimer's.

From blue windows of your soul
I am reminded of heaven's gates
Where angels await
And though your spark dies hard
The blood that binds us
Boils harder
For love is thicker than fire.

My Great Grandmother suffered from
Alzheimer's too, and to this day I treasure each and every one of my memories, and I write and write and write.

I am very moved by declaration of love. Is there ever a flicker of recognition? Does she still know you somewhere in the depths of her blue windows?
