It took away my vision - temporarily.
I looked for clarity, for lines and colours,
All I could catch were pinpoints of light,
Flashes of shimmering gold and glistening glass.
The light was shining in my eyes
And I couldn't see that far - temporarily.
The rainbow of colours danced before my eyes
And the slivers of silver danced in my face.
Those dazzling, horizontal lines,
They gave me hope, but took away my sight.
The light was shining in my eyes
And I hoped for vision's return - temporarily.
I watched the light grow stronger,
I watched the lights grow dim.
The light was shining in my eyes
And it gave me hope, but only till it dimmed.
