    Poem Commentary

    this was written at a time when things were going good for me,
    took a canoe ride and lost them in a lake...

    it was a dark day then.
    but it was a happy dark day.

    into the darkness 8-18-09

    looking at you i cannot see,
    from within the darnkness i am to be

    where there was light i will not know,
    for its something my eyes cannot show.

    although life has truly given me,
    so many wonderful opportunities

    i am to experience this one too
    and i am saddened i cannot see you

    not from illness, nor from pain
    but a blindness that will remain

    until a time when new eyes arrive
    into the world my percepton will again arrive.

    my eyes open into the day,
    but they are shrouded in a new way

    by the shades of darkness and mind
    i hope these days will surely rewind.

    clouds look different althugh they are unchanged,
    the trees are darker although they have rearranged

    the people i see them in a whole new light
    sometimes this gives me such a fright.

    soon the saddness will all come to an end,
    and my eyes i will gain depend

    to show me things in vivid color
    to show me the world like no other

    when the glass comes again what may,
    so i can see again just like before some day.

    this is a good poem, and I can feel some of the fear in it, just keep bring strong and things will work out the way they are ment to no matter how we would like them to and everyting will be alright.

    O I like this one grand detail you can really feel how lost you are and how the world is different without something so small yet so big at the same time love the imagery and the rhythm this is for sure going into my favs

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
