Ode to My Glasses
Nia Smith
Glass pieces fixed into rings,
the rings fixed into frames;
otherwise the image can't be seen so clearly.
They allow for inspiration to come across-
probably more then it wants to-
feeling too exposed as you place it in front of
your eyes.
Only allowing you to see the bigger size
of life itself.
Without you, I can’t see this joy.
I can’t see the exotic shapes and curves that are
for my viewing.
You are misplaced constantly by my wrongdoing.
And I apologize:
I never realized what a gift you bring to my eyes.
Now everyday I look forward to
the times that we will share.
I look forward to placing you upon the bridge of my nose,
waiting to see how life is with you,
allow me to see it.
Everyday I look forward to
placing you upon the bridge of my nose.
Waiting to see how life is the way you allow me to see it.
