Focused Eye

A Poem

By K.B. Silver Published 3 years ago • 1 min read

I sit and stare as I’m actively focusing

Information constantly pouring in

My eyes transfixed on a tree knot four layers deep

There’s a candle, a window, snow, and phone-line in front of me

Dull eyes constantly robotically focusing

All the while my mind keeps on listening

Like a sensual battle I fight without knowing it

Until finally there is a break in the melodic droning

It breaks the spell on my mind

Cast on eyes and ears simultaneously

I shake the fog away and shock my limbs into moving

I adjust to the lighting the room is quietly basking in

I narrow in on an unfinished project there

I’m off again, my eye now focused inwardly
