Beyond The Glass



I pick up the glasses
They are not my own
And I saw a world that I’ve never known
Everything was blurred
I could barely see a thing
The world I once saw
Was much simpler.
So many colors
Details and shapes
Were out of my reach, for what seemed like forever
So I sat
And watched
And felt
And observed
The world I now see
Like the blind mice described in fairy tales
And missed the way my eyes used to be

About this poem

The prompt was to write about an experience with a window. I took my own liberty to use glasses as my window.
