The Interrupted Vision …

Straining to see,

the hummingbird that whispers,

the blade of grass that murmurs,

the fattened drops of summer rain,

falling.

Yearning to see,

that solitary palm on a long abandoned beach,

the coquettish ocean embracing the retreating sun,

the momentary mirth of a teasing twilight,

falling.

Aching to see,

that promise of hope,

as light fades,

flickering faintly,

in my unseeing eyes…
