About
The text of this piece is written by my close friend, Shae Lime, and speaks to the experience of witnessing a loved one go through the stages of dementia. I composed this work while studying in Paris at the European American Musical Alliance. Dedicated to Peter Kline and Sandi Lime.

your hand in mine
clenching
breathe in, breathe out
as we recollect back to the now
time stands still each time I grow
but for you it ebbs and flows
and as your eyes flutter at me
my heart murmurs unevenly;
sundowning.
in and out
as the sun descends
you trail along with her;
i will guide you back
we pulse in sync
until the morrow robs you again
of the light in your eyes,
and the hope in mine
-Shae Lime
