Blind

By Danw

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

To a child the world is new, To the mind the world is closed To the blind, the worlds are clothes Waking in the silence of the invisible night Forever resting their eyes Focused only on what could be What could have been Lost is the memory of colour Spent is the image of life’s colour A split second between sight and sound Sound light travels the speed of sounds Forever lost is my way to see Still no signs, cannot stop my will to be Death is to be without words Unspoken sounds, deaf is tone not heard Trust your mind, Dreams of visions are what you dream If it was only that way Can’t be your eyes, but I can give back to you Sight in the lines of your mind I’ll find your way from here to where? I love you! Written November 14th, 2001 © on Feb 26 2002 02:13 AM PST   10 • 0 • 12
