the instant eye

the instant eye speculates

but a cursory plunge sinks only bark deep

seeking comfort through distracting patterns

displaying gold while absorbing sledge

the comprehensive eye is wide

seeking contentedness by gathering colors

and assembling rainbows

the instant eye is well rested,

yet fat and slothed

when faced with adversity

it shrieks.

the comprehensive eye 

remains calm 

the patterns are gone

the sledge has corroded 

the seams of 

the body

the anchor tears 

the fragile bark from 

the tree

the instant eye

is swept into oblivion

as the comprehensive eyes 

collect the colors of the events

and assembles a rainbow.
