The sunlight bars locked time away
Inmpounded hope in shadow's stray
Two bleary eyes by sight replayed
He searched for green in ocean's gray

The acid tears he never shed scoured the last remains
The hurt replaced what never was, his smile by spotlight sprained
The center of his silent play, dead sparrows on window panes
A seat for all the truly sane, the mocking gaze on his throughts trained

This poem is acutely descriptive, elegant and alluring to my sensibilities and I am glad that you have penned it. Such vivid images; spotlights, dead sparrows, grey seas and bleary eyes . . . beautiful and poignant theme, written with your trademark ability.
Well done.

Radiant, elegant, despondent, bleak..and all in nine lines. Rich flow, and so full of life--Your talent is ever-growing, my friend.

Truly,
-V.S.

Oh my goodness....that is one heck of a poem. It's very sad and tragic and the choice of wording is excellent. Kudos.
