Fuzzy

My eyes once saw the glory with great magnitude
Now set to a manual focus, left unattended

Into each other the colors slowly fade
Saturations of one and the other come together and warrant the forecast

Forsake me and I will have nothing left to give
More than my soul I need them to remain clear and bright
no less than a pilots' in flight

Awakened by the light of day, morning the loss of color still
I stare directly into the sun and relapse into false clarity once again

There is nothing left but for you to take my hand and show me the way

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.

Walt Whitman, American Poet (1819-1892)
