| Verdun, 1917 by Felix Vallotton |
the pain was excruciating
narrow beams struggled to grow wider
she wished to taste the sky
but was nailed to the earth
she felt as if sleeping on mud
all squishy and mishy mashy
diffused into the lightsher mind was fused to her heart
body refused to follow either
blackest of black clouds blanket her
"she will escape before that arrow of light pierces into her"

I have Central serous retinopathy in my left eye....which is fluid leakage under the retina....that means I have blurred vision for now....
It will clear up with time....I have been told to reduce my stress. I had taken leave from work and right now I just trying to relax doing nothing. Not much of reading, watching TV or even use my laptop.....It has been more than a month now....
love the line...about wishing to taste the sky but being nailed to the earth.....guess that's how you are feeling just now..hope you are better soon...x

Nice verse. So sorry to read about your vision. I will keep that in prayer.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I hope your vision is on the mend.
ReplyDeleteIt's so stressful sometimes trying NOT to be stressed and rest!
I love your luminous writing. Maybe you could dictate things into your phone while you're mending?
'Taste the sky' is powerful imagery.
