Frames lay misshapen
Lenses jagged rejected
Turns the world into
Searching wander
Crinkles smashes chirps yelps sound
But from where
Muddled world
Reunited: bridge to nose, bend to ear
Comprehension of details makes
The world better perceived.
This poem isn't that great, but maybe with some explanation the meaning will be better understood. On a surface level, it's about glasses. The first stanza is the glasses being discarded on the ground and broken. The second stanza, as a result of the person not having glasses, is supposed to represent the blurry, confusing world, since the speaker can't see anything. In the third stanza, the glasses are taken back and put on again, giving the speaker to ability to see. The glasses in this poem are a symbol of a Christian worldview, or really any worldview I suppose. When forgotten or damaged, it can leave you in confusion and despair because you can't find an explanation for anything, nothing seems to make sense. However, if you return to your (Christian) worldview, you'll be able to see a little more clearly because you can find an explanation for things.
