INKtober 2023, day 1: Dream

Wow, INKtober has arrived, and I didn’t realize till a couple hours ago. The prompt is Dream. I did this without forethought and with no photo sourcing, just mind’s-eye stuff.

Speaking of eyes, I have new lens implants in mine following cataract surgery. My eyes are still healing, but my astigmatism is gone, and with the help of reading glasses I am getting a much clearer view. I am grateful for the medical advances that gave my vision new life.

Here are the words to the quickie double acrostic:

Drama Dream

Damn the slumbrous night–so hard
Ravaged memory of char
Ashen Carnage is the theme
Must we one again do harm? Da
Age and Wisdom lend no charm

    I have astigmatism and was fortunate enough to see this blog post and I’m so grateful. I just might get it done within the next year with the lenses I just hope that I have the wherewithal to lie still!

      It is SO worth it–if you need some Wherewithal, you can borrow some of mine. But I bet you got this! šŸ™‚

        Thank you. šŸ¤— I wish I were more courageous. I wore contacts for several hours but couldn’t get them out. Ugh…
