Blurry Vision

 
Double sided
This mirror through which I peer
When my reflection is my lens
I see it all so clearly skewed through the prism of a tear
 
This world in the vibrancy of shadows
What is and what’s to come
Forward minded loss of moments
Like sand slipping as the hour glass comes undone
 
Timeline vapors disperse and dissipate
As eternity is dimly perceived
We see as through a stain glass window
The glory of forever against the moment grieved
 
Paradox of this existence
Reality in collision with the truth
Subjective perceptions
From age to age, the loss of innocence and youth
 
Ripe unto corruption
Refractions of divide
Looking through these in-corrective lenses
In a realm of unending questions and an acquired taste for lies
 
Contorted frames of reference
Enculturation of compromise
Only seeing what we choose to
As shards protrude ever further into our eyes…
