A Golden Shovel poem, inspired by:
\n“As is a landscape to a blind man’s eyes”
\n-William Wordsworth<\/p>\n
The eyes and their fickle functions taunt my mind as
\nthey pretend to reveal mysteries to those whose focus is
\nsharp and dedicated, but their true aims seem to be showing us a
\nworld full of threats and anxieties that hide behind the beautiful landscape.
\nWhat appears at first is a breathtaking sight that steals away your worries, before leaving you to
\nWonder on what lies beneath the beauty. Eventually, that which you thought was a
\nsight to clear your mind of all negative thoughts, reveals a plot to blind
\nyou to its obvious beauty, and leave you hollow and empty inside, until you see the beauty of man’s
\ncreations only. And for the sake of your own mind, to nature’s stunning showings, you turn a blind man’s eye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
