My Eyesight
the sky is gray and gloomy
trees stand still, they cannot sway
small birds chirp looking for their mum
they also long for the brightness of the sun
the scenic spots I usually perceive day and night
am I now blind that they’re out of my sight
the squirrels who give their biggest grin
I think they’re all busy looking for the best cuisine
looking at the ponds and lake outside
they are so stagnant that no one likes to ride
a sound of one cuckoo seems has a message to impart
does it want to tell me that you’ll finally depart
so now, as I lay down on my bed
I close my eyes but dread creeps my head
I just hope I only have a nightmare
that my eyesight is lost or my vision is not clear
again, I want to close my eyes for the second time
hoping for another dream that tomorrow will be mine
a dream full of hope and joys which will forever abide
like in the past when you and I stayed together side by side
