Seeing With New Eyes
The sun comes up and it’s time to go
The more I learn the less I know
The sky is so blue and in the middle is the moon
It seems as if the sun has made some room.
I find it strange to see the moon in the light
When I think of the moon it’s shining bright at night
Maybe the day and the night have become one
I open my eyes wide to view what is to come.
The day seems special yet like any other
Things I saw before I seem to rediscover
They are different yet quite the same
Just another day, Wednesday by name.
I get in my car for I have to go to the city
The visual outside my window is so pretty
The colors are so vivid they cry out we’re alive
I seem to find peace on this very long drive…
I pick up my friend and we start our trip back
I see all that I have and not what I lack
We talk of life and how the world is changing
Though it seems quite the same just a little rearranging.
I arrive at home it’s been a long day
All of the pieces just fit today
Everything around me joined together
I floated through much like a feather.
