After The Blackout

My eyes are open, I know,
But cannot see in the dark
Office, deep black, no glow
Of computer screens now
Because the power is gone
Completely, and I haven't a clue
When it will come back on
To recover and restore,
But I am not afraid or upset,
And sit calmly, thinking light
Thoughts, which turn into regret
That it took a loss of sight,
A shock to the system, to remind
Of the precious mundane moments
Unenjoyed, and left behind
To often, and the care and love
Of others, that are always there to find,
Easily, with the lights on above,
When things can, no, should be seen,
For what they are, for what they mean...
