Poem
While I was walking through a meadow, of blooms and sunshine, I stopped to spread my blanket, for a gay picnic at lunchtime. It was very pleasant, and I had brought many good things to eat. Afterwards I took a refreshing nap, in the cozy summer suite! Upon awaking I walked some more, and then chose to take a swim, And on the way I whistled, happy as a birdie singing on a limb! When I reached the creek, I stripped down to my green swimsuit, And I approached the cliff, and dove in with an elated hoot! And felt a jarring blow to the head, as I had fallen from my bed! There was now only pain, for my sweet dream had suddenly fled. With my nighttime shattered, I resolved to have some breakfast, For when the past is surely gone, it's look to the future we must! Yet I realized then that my vision, had become somewhat blurry, But it slowly cleared up, so I assumed there was no need to worry. Then I had a strange premonition, that things were about to change, Like springtime's warm breezes, affirm nature will soon rearrange! Because it was the weekend, I needed to shop for more groceries, I was out of milk and bread, and I wanted to get some more cookies. So, after a light breakfast, I headed for the local supermarket, Attired in a light blue dress, and wearing a floppy hat scarlet. And soaking up the joyfulness of summer, I hummed a popular tune, Like the gaiety of the gold sun, at it's prime time of high noon! Then I stopped to admire a trilling cardinal, in a tall oak tree, But was quite shocked to discover, the action occurred behind me! I had never once turned myself around, so how could I have seen, This summertime crooner, rhapsodizing on his tree limb so green? Although it's true that any sound, can travel on a warm breeze, How can it be possible, to have keen sight that is 360 degrees? It was as if some part of my vision, was occurring in my mind, A newly acquired power of telepathy, that I was surprised to find. I saw the people walking behind me, and also those on either side, And the birds, blue skies, and aircraft way above me, besides! At the market I didn't have, the usual need to search for items, Like the sudden development that dispels, need for usual customs. I was able to sense what lay, in the ranges beyond normal vision, A universe that up until now, had remained persistently hidden. I was happy my shopping was all done, in a third of the usual time, Like the joy of an early summer flower, blooming in the springtime! The walk back to my house, was just as interesting and as scenic, I enjoyed the extra colors and sights, though they defied logic. In the exhilarating days that followed, I retained my new power, As the scent of the bloom remains the same, after a summer shower! I came to a decision, to put my new endowment to a benevolent use. By joining the Police Force, perhaps I could help violence reduce. My very first day on the job, I prevented a great deal of crime, By seeing the criminals approaching, and nabbing them just in time! I thought of myself as a superhero, yet none knew of my superpower, I could work better without distractions, or hard queries to answer. I shone as a police officer, with much crime solving to my credit, And it was the dream of this one officer, to make everyone legit! Sometimes upon a clear and starry night, with boredom I would cope, By observing the stars, galaxies, and planets, without a telescope! I also became an observer of the wild, and discovered new species, As there is always newness in nature, on earth, in skies or seas! I eventually left the police department, to become a successful spy, And traveled all around this world, always employing my 'private eye.' I uncovered many conspiracies, and some of them were quite serious, Which, of course, made the conspirators more than a little furious. Like the fury of blue skies, after a gold sun has just departed; So that following a stormy tantrum, he returns to where he started! I am retired now, following a lifetime of satisfying public service, And I have several passionate hobbies, that are far less dangerous. Astronomy is one of them, and I've discovered new planets and stars; And with my love of travel, I've seen much of this world of ours. I am so grateful when I think back, that in my youth I saw the light, And decided to serve humanity, with my rare gift of enhanced sight!
