Two Pieces by Kindell Keyes

A Moment

I can’t think of a time when the
Wind did not howl or
The rain was not wet, the snow was
Not white, the sun was not hot,
The moon did not shine or when the
World stood still just for a moment.
Remembrance has taken a toll.
No one thanks you for being here.


Who Am I?

Physically I think
I'm here,
but mentally I
can't think
anymore. Materially
I have nothing
and socially I don't
get out much.
I do know
that emotionally
I'm drained
and that spiritually
I'm dead.
So Who Am I?
