Fading EchoesThis is a song I wrote about my struggles with hearing loss coupled with a devastating diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer’s
Fading Echoes:
The world once sang, now only hums,
Vibrations whisper where my music comes.
Footsteps and heartbeats, I feel them near,
But the voices of yesterday disappear.
Every laugh, every word, slipping through,
The sounds I loved, now shadows of blue.
I reach for the echoes that no one else can hear,
Tracing the ghosts of songs that used to be clear.
Memories fade into the silence of night,
I’m learning to live in the absence of light.
Doors close softly, the world moves on,
I feel the vibration where my song belonged.
Fingers on strings, the rhythm’s my guide,
I follow the pulse where the sound used to hide.Every tone, every chord, a fading flame,
But the music inside will whisper my name.
I reach for the echoes that no one else can hear,
Tracing the ghosts of songs that used to be clear.
Memories fade into the silence of night,
I’m learning to live in the absence of light.
The past hums softly beneath my skin,
A shadow of laughter, a whisper of wind.
Even as the silence closes in tight,
I find my own rhythm, I find my own light.
I reach for the echoes that no one else can hear,
Tracing the ghosts of songs that used to be clear.
Memories fade into the silence of night,
I’m learning to live in the absence of light.
Vibrations guide me, my pulse is my song,
In this quiet world, I still belong.
