The Mind’s Eye
In measuring sight, we are most yet blind,
fools read with eyes and judgment fails,
due to emotional weighing scales.
Wretched pain consumes the light,
harbor in black water, visions are unclear,
truth on painted canvass colors smear.
Sad the time lost in harvest,
awareness lacking, you cannot see,
whence sight becomes clear, then we become free
Author notes
It will be interesting to know how these words grab you. Some think it's dark, some hopeful. Please tell me what you get from it. Thanks, Rhonda

I wouldn't really call it dark or hopefull exactly but I would say these are words of wisdom, most people spend over half their lives figuring out what they should be doing, or what others want them to do when they really just need to chill and do what they love doing. I enjoyed reading this, keep it up!
