    Glass-eye

    Black and White:
    The line is blurred-
    A grey streak seen through polished glass eyes.

    Purpose looms ahead,
    purging my thoughts.

    For a moment
    the water runs clear...

    But I have within me
    the winds of the four-cornered earth.
    They threaten to burst
    from my lungs
    and toss me further still
    from my long lost Ithaca.

    I know my home is there,
    invisible on the horizon.

    But that horizon remains
    a dim wavering line to my glass eyes.
    My vision reflects
    and Longing trails behind
    followed closely by Apathy.

    This is very good. It is quite refreshing to read a poem that is clear and concise....without all the fluff that is does not add anything to the piece. THAT is poetry. Saying as much as you possibly can with few, strong, properly placed words. Well done.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
