The Eyestroke (Free verse) by seebergerb
Reflections - scene - the world without glasses,
stark and white, now the colors come together
and become something more, a dash and a line,
a stroke of gold and a picture -
we sleep among the visions we desire, wretched
and beautiful, the hidden message beneath all,
always there like a haunted mist
(that shuttles us into those realms we fear)
but we resist, push back, and acknowledge
the seniority of time against our statement
of being - when the angels in their white wings
come down to earth and give us the courage
to withstand the winds.
