Today I found a piece or two
Of who I used to be
Hidden deep in timelessness
Was old,old part of me
Laughter sprang unbidden
Pouring forth like unleashed rain
Ringing over bitter soil
And plowing under pain
Can who you are forget yourself
Lose who you were meant to be
Wrapped and trapped in senselessness
Alzheimered spiritually
Or is one slowly morphed and changed
so subtle it's not known
is what we lose torn off so fast
We don't even know it's gone
Broken pieces left behind
I didn't know had fell
Today I gathered back a few
And found I knew them well
I put them in my pocket
Glued my pocket closed with time
Forever now a part of me
Cause they were always mine
