A Time My World Changed v. 3

I Can See Again

my vision is blurred

colors blend together

stuck together

opaque, unclear

i trip

i fall --

every movement

jumps

blinks

flinches


my vision is clouded

black becomes brown

green becomes yellow

thin, black lines on paper

appear blank…

blank…

blank…

white..

.

.

.

.

someone notices

my trips, my falls, my clumsiness

holds out hand

grasps it tight

and pulls me up


I can see again.
It is clear.
No longer does my paper appear blank.
Rather, precise lines are interwoven on the paper.
There are a million different shades.
Thousands of the same color.

Color.

I can define it.
I can touch it.
I can feel it.
It reaches out and I…
I…

I can see.

Edit: I've changed the second to last full stanza.

Assignment #1 - A Time My World Changed v. 2

I can see

my vision is blurred

colors blend together

stuck together

unattainable, opaque, unclear

i trip

i fall

every movement jumps, blinks, moves

my vision is blurred

brown becomes black

yellow becomes green

thin, black lines on paper

appear blank

blank

blank

white

someone notices

my trips, my falls, my clumsiness

holds out a hand

places it on my hand

i put it on

It is clear

Precise lines web through on my paper

There are a million different shades

Thousands of the same color

Color

I can define it

I can touch it

I can feel it

It reaches out and I…

I can see
