The Eye Surgeon

THE EYE SURGEON

(Dedicated to Dr. Kulin Kothari)


It’s not just the Eye:
It’s a dimension of Life
That adds so greatly to Life,
That the Eye
Surgeon restores.

Eliminating in a stroke
Or two … or three …
All that’s attendant
On the tag
`Handicapped’!

Colour – print – form – beauty –
All that the Eye can see or know!
But what the Heart can see and know
Is beyond even
The Eye Surgeon’s control.
