Rhymes of the Heart
No Longer
When the clouds no longer
Fill the azure skies
And when the sun retreats
No more to rise
When the music no longer
Takes away the gloom
And the flowers lie dormant
No more to bloom
When the wind no longer
Brings a cool embrace
And the memories escape
No more to face
When the mind no longer
Brings a familiar smile
And the promise of tomorrow
No more worthwhile
When the body no longer
Takes a mortal breath
In that last smile you're whole
In peaceful death

Dementia is a tragic thing
It wipes away all beauty
All familiarity
Fill the azure skies
And when the sun retreats
No more to rise
When the music no longer
Takes away the gloom
And the flowers lie dormant
No more to bloom
When the wind no longer
Brings a cool embrace
And the memories escape
No more to face
When the mind no longer
Brings a familiar smile
And the promise of tomorrow
No more worthwhile
When the body no longer
Takes a mortal breath
In that last smile you're whole
In peaceful death

Dementia is a tragic thing
It wipes away all beauty
All familiarity
