Starving Eyes
My eyes will be held open
devouring all beauty imparts,
catching what I can each moment,
every glimmer of God’s art;
I will seize creation’s glory
in every vista in my sight
unveiling life in daylight,
letting go the fearful night.
Today is only seconds long
as apportioned by the clock;
I will relish every minute
leave my soul windows unlocked.
Yesterday is a memories’ book,
tomorrow’s sun may not surprise;
I will wring out every drop of joy
And feed my starving eyes.
