The Blind Seer

I am blind

Darkness my companion

All the time

I may not see

The azure blue

Of sky and sea

But I smell green

In rain soaked grass

Washed summer clean

I may not view

The velvet rose's

Scarlet hue

But I can taste

The purple storm

Feel North blow on my face

I cannot gaze

Into your amber eyes

Through this opaque haze

But I can hear

Your heartbeat

Singing in my ear

Unhindered by temporal sight,

My heart perceives immortal

Beyond this fog of night

The melodies I hear

Paint views I alone can see

Those depths inside of you

Because blind, I am a Seer

Written in honor of the blind and “disabled” who've taught me to see and feel.
