As my vision worsens I was devisitated this week when I have began to loose colour, its all down hill from here, soon it will just be light and dark. This poem reflects this situation...thanks fro reading

LOOSING BLUE

A spectrum
A colourful spectrum
In all this loss of detail
at least there was hue
I thought there was always blue

But lately
As recent as days gone by
I find I am looking at
The bleeched out sky

Where once the sea reflected
The seasons passing canvass
It is now devoid of colour
And my memory must out last

The blue
The loss of blue

Where works of art
be they painting or sculpture
leant me the perception of definition
Through blue and green and red and yellow
But now I miss
I miss the vision splendid in my hollow

Acceptance of loosing detail never seemed so hard
But now I'm loosing colour its like another death
And tomorrow when I wake up what will it hold for me?
A colour dropped from my landscape
The world that is before me.

I have lost
Blue.
