Sundowning
*SUNDOWNING
Fire in my eyes so cold
Shards of electric
Shooting from my brain
Pristine clarity
Knowing all things
Madness in fighting
The Beast
Within
My body reels in the
Subliminal of a warrior’s pain
And win
But
Then
The sun starts to fall
Again
Wrapped in my own understanding
This dim light brings
Fully aware of my own false dreams
I sleep to die with the falling sun
To wake again
If I can….
* Sundowning is a term used to describe what happens frequently to those who have Alzheimers, Parkinson’s, MS, etc in late afternoon or early evening when the symptoms of the disease become acute and the “recovery: of the early days ends.
