Notes About The Poem

Sight

Sometimes words escape from me, 
Each a sacred tear
Embodied in the world 
Of all that’s true.
And sometimes 
I must so forebear 
For all that I may fear
Would slow evaporate 
And you would only know me 
By the air of my past reason. 
For I am gone.
I have lost my wings, 
Lost my words, 
Lost my life,
And gained 
A glimpse of God.

John Watt November 18, 2020 at 11:16 AM Vernon, I so enjoyed reading this today. There is a self-emptying that comes from a combination of humility, faith, and age. To paraphrase John the Baptist, "I must decrease that He may increase". A belated welcome to Poetry Soup, and thanks for the comment today. I look forward to reading more of your writings ~ John
