I heard but couldn’t see –
blurred
vacant
distorted eyes
a loss of vision
in living life
my flawed decision
a deception
a perception
distorted
I heard but couldn’t see –
Three times
the clock chimed,
“revise”
“revise”
“revise”
tick tock – mind blocked
tick tock – unlock
And then I saw –
eyes can shift
with temerity
into clarity
from the surreal
to reality
by making a change
