Washing My Eyes In The Glory Of A View

This poem finds me in one of the roughest places I have ever been in. I am in the hospital and trying so hard to get well, at the same time keeping myself from getting lost in all the pain.

Washing My Eyes In The Glory Of A View

by Chris T.

Looking to awash my eyes in a view

Trying to capture a glimpse, a small piece of you.

Scanning the horizon to and fro,

Searching for solace or something I know.

Come to me in focus and leave out no detail.

For I am hungry for truth and even a tale.

So if you see a bleary eyed gaze so absently returned,

It is clear I haven’t found the thing that I’ve yearned.

Days go to nights, and the nights turn pitch black.

Moments run together without form, without slack.

For now the rosebud begins to lose its luminous glow,

And the twinkle and shine may never be known.

Clearly something must change and change very quick.

Not by confusion, and not by trick.

I desperately need my muse to return.

Providing the shimmer and sparkle to learn.

How to keep one’s wits from sorrow and despair.

By giving the credit where beauty is due.

Washing my eyes in the glory of a view.

I like this line esp: Moments run together without form, ... because that is how it is. Here's to those bleary eyes seeing all anew!

you never fail to impress me with your work. The flow of it was really good. The emotion that you put into it really is what makes it so great. I hope all is well with you btw

This seemed like a poem about finding your way back on your feet. I liked it. And I know what it's like. Good read.

[Jeremy Baker]

Superb writing, and an inspirational message!

[Tai Ryens]

Amazing, from beginning to end, head to toe, all nicely done. It flowed excellently, and the words all have some sort of wisdom in there.
And I'm so sorry to hear that you are in the hospital, and I hope that God blesses you and erases your pain. Keep your hope strong!
Anyways, amazing job once again.

a great outlook described sensitively. It reminded me of Victor Frankles. 'Man's search for meaning. I am sorry to hear you are in hospital. Live in the day my friend. Thanks.

Stand!--though the Earth be destroyed and you have but a bit of rubble upon which to lay your weary feet. Stand!
You are The Christ Carrier--what do you lack?
Doubt not that you have done His work--that you are continuing to do so, even now, in the confusion of this time and place. Do not ask if you are loved, you have been given ample proof of it; do not wonder if your faith is a delusion, there is nothing more real!
What often appears to be destruction is merely a forging.
This poem, Chris, is gut-wrenching and beautiful--very much like your life.
Stand and withstand, brother, your presence--your profound charity and wise direction--will soon be most sorely needed.
