That Sword of Damocles

That sword of Damocles,
a ticking time bomb,
a minefield before me,
that curse, that marker,
that latent danger lurking,
just below the water line
an ancient fear nascent,
that may yet be revealed...
 
Unspoken terror, oblivion,
urges me on in this moment
sharing fervently, gifted,
knowing only the present
the threat remains hidden
outside of my vision
a sword of Damocles remaining
just out of reach...

Based on #Romans8:14-15
and history of vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease
in my mother’s side of the family
