Fading Capacity of the Mind
Walk in the den
I need my book
Now, in the room
I ask...
What brought me here?
Train of thought gone
Bam!
Just that fast, I forgot
For this week’s W3 challenge, writers are invited to capture a dramatic moment in just a handful of lines — a storm breaking, a glass shattering, a door slamming, a sudden realization, or any instant where something changes sharply or unexpectedly.
I chose to write about the realization that my mind is not what it used to be. Just that quick, I forgot why I was going in the other room and what I needed. The aging mind has jokes; it likes to play tricks. Enjoy it while you can! If this sounds like you, just know you are not alone😃
Thank you for stopping by to read💕🙏🏽
