Old Sol

I thought you might not come today
sitting there
behind that dark, gray cloud,
but here you are,
blinding the sight of one eye,
painting rings of light
that mesmerize,
obscure my view. Odd,
how light can hinder
one’s view with its great intensity,
being incomprehensible to the mere
humanness of one’s eye.
Must be the “forest for the trees” syndrome.

©April 17, 2004

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I liked it.  This one made me stop and think...and that is sometimes too rare for me!  Thanks~
