If I could see what she actually
sees as snippets of life
come her way for the very first time,
everything so fresh and new, yet
words unavailable to her,

I would have lots of colors and
movement in everything, with
laughter and excitement everywhere.

I would float with the butterflies,
swirling colors to brighten the world.

I would sing with nightingales,
trilling tones of comfort and cheer, and

I would dance like a fairy princess,
bestowing happiness with my wand.

There would be pure wonder and joy
as I looked at life through her eyes,
the eyes of a child.

Goodnight, Eye Floater Companion

The black dot frequently moves to
a gentle rhythm, its pacing barely noticeable;

at other times, it stirs up specks visible
only peripherally. In fact,

just yesterday I wiped the same spot
off the window a half dozen times,

yet with each sideways glance,
it magically reappeared.

I’ve batted at the fly it mocked;
I’ve followed its circular spins;

I’ve tried to get it to stop
by rubbing at shadowy blurs.

But for now I’d just like it to join me
in settling down for the night;

So I turn off the lights in the room,
softly close my eyes, and wish my
faithful companion a quiet, peaceful night.
