Blinded By The Light

Not permanently. Of course not.
Just for a moment. It
must be brief. Safe. Quick!

No damage to the eyes.
But long enough
to take pleasure in it.

A split second
should do the trick.
So

to raise the blinds
and be hit
smack in the face

by sunlight streaming in;
a clear message
that winter has gone,

that last week’s snow
is history,
a white imagining, a story,

seems to me
to be a very good way
to begin a day.

Hallelujah!
It’s a sun day.
Praise the blinds.

The Sun Knocks Him Over
