for a long time my eyes were clouded
trying to peer through a glass darkly
they envisioned you on the other side
—
some thought me stubbornly blind
but i saw the picture all too clearly
it was easier to go without glasses
—
i have loved you since remembrance
i will love you until my eyes close
but not the love i’d once thought
—
there was first sight and second
then with third the scales fell off
you should never belong to me
—
my bitterness is now laid to rest
rain and thunderclouds are gone
and my inner vision is improving
—
the mirror images are still hazy
they reflect looking-glass land
but the plank is slowly decaying
I love these lines…
I have loved you since remembrance, I love you until my eyes close, but not the love i’d once thought!
Your words make always make me sane!
Bless You! ~Namaste~
