THIEF: PROGRESSION OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE

By Lesley Buchan Donald

ree

You stole from me

 

Little things at first

Barely noticed

Hardly missed

 

Chanel Mademoiselle

Freshly sliced lemons

Longiflorum lilies

 

Deep refreshing sleep

Laughter

Joy

 

Now you have taken my breath

My voice

My song

 

I am an artist

without Cadmium yellow

Vermilion, Cerulean blue

 

Cruel thief

 

You have stolen me
