Reborn
The crisp, cloudless sky, this glorious Saturday afternoon,
Is bluer than it's been in fifty years.
How can I possibly make such an extravagant claim?
Because I'm viewing the universe through new lenses,
Which render my sight perfectly unblurred;
Indeed, I'm not wearing glasses at all.
My eyes are free to see colors, shapes,
As they see themselves: in unadulterated jubilation.
I can almost see the air, catch glimpses of sound.
What, other than having cataracts miraculously removed,
Did I do, to deserve such a gift?
It's as if vision and I are twins reborn of euphoria.
