The meadow comes alive inside my mind

Through the view finder, the landscape blurs

into shape and color.  The computer screen,

my honest companion, shows me the picture

I actually took.  My unblind eye is a stubborn thing.

Refuses to look through the view finder.  Or

perhaps the nearly blind eye is insistent.

Its dominance reigns supreme.

Like my eye, I am persistent.

Using my honest companion,

I create the meadow I saw inside my mind.
