Strands
Inspired by: The Eye of the Lord (1870) painting by Georgiana Houghton.
The painting should accompany the words
My eyes are heavy
As if covered by a film
Layer upon layer
Of my life
And the mistakes
That have been made
To age
Takes away second chances
Wearies the bones
No matter
This taint and stain colours
My view
The weight of the world
And the vastness of the ocean
Impedes my ability to draw breath
Was I ever just a single strand
That wafted in the breeze
Unhurried and unhindered
