Blurred View

Blurred View

Seeing the broken pieces
of what is left
of this fractured life
laying before me 
I am unable to make sense
of what is happening
 
Uncontrollable tears
blur my view
It matters not what
is presented to me
but how I feel
inside my heart
 
Did I feel it slipping
through my fingers
before it crashed to the floor?
Did I miss the warning signs?
I stare into the sky as
the last light of dusk is fading
 
Pink hues painted across
the evening canvas
A moment to pause and
wonder at the
beauty before me
but it means nothing
for I care no more

    “Pink hues painted across / the evening canvas” is a memorable description.

    I believe this whole virus pandemic is making people stop and examine their lives, what they have, what they need, what means something.

        you express it so beautifully, and in an odd way it is so comforting to read that someone understand the same pain
