PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I used to think wearing glasses was a curse.

I would kneel by my bed and pray…

thankful for all the gifts that were bestowed on me

still wondering why my eyes were created this way.

Until my parents took me to a museum.

I still remember that fateful day

where hanging on the museum walls

I saw paintings by Monet.

I remember thinking to myself..

How is this possible?

How can this be?

How can this man

this Mr. Monet

paint the world I see.

Now I’m no longer sad when I remove my glasses

and watch details of the world fade away

for I know I share my vision

with the artistry of Monet.
