Oh God
you know
I promote spectacle
to witness this
creation
since my eyesight
is soft
my spectacle serves me
to discern
your earth
while a faith in you
is contrasting
spectacle of mine
as my comprehension
to know you
is infirm
this spectacle
favor me to eyewitness
yonder to your sky
Oh God...
Author notes
Inspired by a quotation by Ralph Waldo Emerson taken from his journals written in 1844:
"Poetry must be as new as foam
and as old as a rock."
