Withering blooms in a searing desert;
Brightness fading life, burnt Sienna;
Sinews shrivel; bodies to dust revert:
Cryptic clues to a failing; Dementia!
Stony pillow underhead, gloominess over!
Wondering by glazed silver starlight,
spotting dark moons in a wild stream,
and silver rivets on life's wide screen.
Awakened from fear: emotions maimed,
dreams unfettered, and maladies unchained.
Long since the lucid nightmares ceased,
in serene wakefulness, lives the livid beast.
