Blindness

is not death sentence
save a different but not defective way
of resetting the terms of seeing
just as to limp is to walk
with a different gait.
The blind
learns to do everything
on his own
at his own pace,
through touch, scent and sound
weaving a basket, playing a guitar, knitting a sweater,
braille briefed, gets access to
public signage
elevator button
medicine packing.
His light of conscience awakens his soul
to the conscious world
that lives in him and burns. Without walls
he can see the humanity within far better than
those self blinded by the shards of
earthly beauty.
