I
Myopia my blessing
Reveals just what’s near
Things in the distance a blur
II
Lenses of technology
Make distinctions clear
Illusion of separateness
III
Others see differently
Both visions are true
Connections and divisions
IV
Colors blending and distinct
Our breath uniting
All the wonders of this world

Dear Miss Carol, you have a wonderful facility for expressing beautiful ideas in few words. As you know, my old pappy is a scribbler, but he is nowhere as efficient (except, of course, in his own withered mind). Thanks for your positive messages.

Finely expressed, carol, underlining that the view is limited by specification of the lens, just as human vision is circumscribed by contours of thinking.

Myopia may be a blessing but astigmatism sucks. Believe me.

Illusion of separateness is so very true. I pray for the day when all realize it is illusion. Thanks Carol for this beautiful poem.
