Stepping out on a July afternoon,
hand up on forehead, squinting in the glare,
flick out the Ray-Bans, eyes become attuned,
descend the steps and stride across the square.
The amber lenses paint a different scene,
Palazzo Bernabei glows warmer hues,
the vines that cling to walls a richer green
bouquets of gift stall sun hats, whites and blues.
These glasses worn to help protect my eyes,
though welcome, sunshine brings with it white noise,
give added richness, deeper summer skies
to scenes on darker days no-one enjoys.
If my life wore some filters such as these
maybe I'd find more colour, joy, more peace.
