Now I See
Now I See
Looking through clouded lens
I thought the sky was grey
The sun was gold as the red clay
I saw the fields with tattered grain
I saw the winds leaving behind
Remains of paper remnants with torn words blowing away as
The soft air flowed swiftly upward
disappearing, leaving blank unfilled penmanship As the surgeon removed the clouded lens
eyes anew once again
Crystal focus a world of color
Blue skies cover the canvas
How did I never see the beauty beheld
The ink now flows again
The canvas is now complete again
About this poem
How we see through “rose colored glasses” not realizing there in front all along is beauty and better things in life once we open our eyes to reality.
