I now have a strange etherial shadow dominating the sight in my right eye.
It’s a misty ghost
An apparition
A sea mist on a Christmas morning
And something the eye consultant warned me of .
When I close my eyes in the sunshine
I can see the shadow of the bleed quite clearly, a dark amoeba against a pink eyelid
My bestie Nu has had some health problems recently and admitted to me that she suddenly felt old
I understood that feeling today , when I left the darkness of my front door with the dogs , totally unsure of where my feet had ended up on a wet path as black as midnight.
Mary has milky eyes and is careful where she steps and I now understand her hesitations as we both let Roger now take the lead.
Something he has never done before.
In the dark my sweet young boy now takes point position
His head held high
And we follow him
Trusting his dim old head and his happy personality .
Oh squire that made me cry

But for Roger

I always keep my eyes on the ground when I am walking. I am so afraid of falling. Be careful, John.
ReplyDeleteRoger, the seeing eye dog, good boy. I am finding it harder driving when it is very grey or also when very sunny. Take care in the dark, John, go slow. Gigi
ReplyDeleteGive Roger a little kiss on the top of his head for me.
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful photo, but I think it's aged you too much!! Aches, pains, bits of the body letting us down - all parts of the joys of extra years.
ReplyDeleteThis is a terrific pic. Actually it is artistic and an actually like portraiture. Your face is well suited to that jumper, or rather that jumper really suits you. I love polo jumpers , Are you going to sing a sea shanty at the concert you old sailor♥️
