DARKNESS

It was easy to take for granted
my eyes would always see
the beauty of nature’s world
unfolding in a morning’s blaze.

Now that beauty fades away
like the end of a movie:
darkness creeps into my life
as I stagger blindly to find
an exit from this theater.

The sun’s light fades:
when it is all gone,
what shall I have left?
Memories of sparkling water
and colorful dresses in Spring?

Mountains, trees, sun-lit skies
where did you go?
Like dreams, you vanished
from waking but unseeing eyes.

I smell flowers and bread baking;
I hear children laughing
and a robin calling its mate.

“Excuse me” says a voice:
ah! I am standing
in someone’s way.

And the saga of life moves forward, even as our we are rehashing yesterday and today.
A good write, WindWalker.
