Para-amnesia

Para-amnesia

I woke, and even recognizing the room
Didn't know where I was
Even repeating my name
Didn't know who I was.
I wandered down a path
Familiar only as dreams are
Whose next turn I could not predict
Though when I found myself
At last at a seashore
Of round gray stones,
I nodded, sure
That this was my destination.

"Familiar as only dreams are"
I loved this line. You have captured something so lovely and fleeting here.

And clearly it was.
It may just be the dreams I was having, but I felt a hint of menace lurking behind it.

(I gave you these sparkles because they're called, "mermaidy." It fit!)

I was nodding with you at the end, at the rightness of being there.

Truly lovely words. I just hummed them to music...they sounded wonderful.
