Compassion -

As I wait for my new glasses

(with pumped up prescription)

I feel for Leah and her "weak eyes"

(and for this family which is getting off  to a difficult start).

I am grateful for the ocular artists who are making "fun eyes" - cat eyes, sunflower eyes, star burst eyes - for people with prosthetic eyes.

I pray that I might find the fun in my various limitations, disabilities, and difficulties. 

From blue sky tonight

the moon turns three quarters, says

       "Got my eye on you"! 

The last little chunk,

SPAM, lettuce, and tomato -

         SLT sandwich!

 

Lunch today. 

Cruising down the lane -

two deer, one a fawn, crossing - 

       cruising down the lane. 

Clear sky, quiet lake,

a busy day winding down -

          a half moon rises. 

In sidewalk buckets -

tomatoes and potatoes -

      deer eating them both! 

Birds chirp, squirrels cheep,

leaves flutter, thrash in the wind -

       darkness approaching!

 

Thunderstorm - the animals are nervous. Or is that just my projecting?
