Glaucoma

[Brian mclaughlin]

Hello darkness
thank you sleep
how wonderful the two of you are.
The pain brought me by the harsh light of day,
finally being eased.
I've long accepted the blindness
but the pressure,
the burning,
there is no getting used to them.
It is your touch though
that helps free me from the anguish.
Today has been so hard on my eyes.
Maybe tomorrow will be easier.

Fortunately I have never had this happen to me,the poem has a thankful note to it ,seems the night holds relief and I hope the day is easer .
