Mar 2015
Wincing at the light, I deprive myself;
Take in an uneven frame.
With lowered brows and interminable thoughts
I pass it all by,
Float and reflect on the detail
Never seen,
Convinced I experienced it all,
Scratching in the rest;
I tear in the blue sky and smear the
Breaking waves;
I become more an object of scorn as the greens
And greys of the cliff side are marred,
Framed in the corner of an eye.
Take in an uneven frame.
With lowered brows and interminable thoughts
I pass it all by,
Float and reflect on the detail
Never seen,
Convinced I experienced it all,
Scratching in the rest;
I tear in the blue sky and smear the
Breaking waves;
I become more an object of scorn as the greens
And greys of the cliff side are marred,
Framed in the corner of an eye.
I have a tendency to get stuck in my head while I'm out. I have trouble switching off and taking everything in. I call myself an observer but miss so much due to an over-active head. This was written about how much I missed the last time I took a long cliff walk near where I live on a nice day not so long ago. I gleaned nothing worthwhile from my absence that day, or any other.
