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.

First of all, I'm so sorry to hear about you being sick and wish you a speedy recovery. Stay strong and don't let the pain beat you. Secondly, I loved this piece. Heartfelt and emotional in every line, and great flow. Keep writing to forget what ails you and you should feel better in no time.

Get well very soon!

When pain is near. Mind can create good poetry. I wrote best poetry when I was in pain. I like the description in this poem.
"Clearly something must change and change very quick.
Not by confusion, and not by trick."
No weakness in this outstanding poem.

hang in there brother, this may just be the beginning of your muse returning, pain does strange things to poets. Many more writes are just around the corner... and some Delaudid as well ;)

Excellent work. One of your best subtle writes I think.
