Troubled Vision Poem by Dorsey Baker

Again and again
A vision that appears
When darkness comes
An old person sits in a wheelchair
Head bowed
Thinking back
About once upon a time
Again and again
A vision that appears
When darkness comes

A beautiful picture comes clearly
To mind
Youth and it's energy!
Moments sweet
But fleeting so fast!
The old persons mind
Begins to ramble
Again and again
A vision that appears
When darkness comes

Gone forever
The energy!
The passion!
In its place
A body weak and feeble
It's youthfulness
It's usefulness
Has now fully expired!
