2135

at night while reading -
quietly an ant scurries
across words printed

✿

across the page it hurries
how much wisdom can
this ant acquire

I started last week with itchy eyes and by Tuesday I had to go to the doctor, by Thursday my eyes were clear and comfortable, but still a bit puffy, i'm still on prescribed meds.
No fun at all.
So how was your week, better than mine i hope?

None is travelling
Here along this way but I,
This autumn evening.

Rosemary Nissen-Wade said...: Fun to think of the ant acquiring wisdom by scurrying across the words! For yourself, perhaps you should rest your eyes awhile? Mine need regular replacement tears in the form of drops or spray, because they get dry from watching screens so much of very day.; 6:25 PM
