Imagine
A black hole
That consumes
Everything.
First
your name and identity
Then your memory,
relationships,
ideas
and personality.
Gone.
extinguished.
Imagine
no impression
left
behind.
no shadow
no footprint
no nothing.
And to emphasise the extent of the void
take the words,
writings and memories
of
everyone
you have ever known
and those who have known them
throughout time
and
Wipe them out too.
A frightening prospect of utter blankness and blackness.
Hold my hand gently, speak softly of everyday things and happy times, smooth my forehead lightly, sing sweet songs quietly and play lovely music ,perhaps the dawn chorus of birdsong. Hope of comforting for both sufferer and carer.
