The subject of blindness came up at one of my writing groups, so lack of sight has been on my mind.
The sightless do miss much. The face of a lover. The smiles of their children. The beauty of nature. They also miss some of the ugliness in the world.
Despite what they miss visually, I wonder if they might see deeper than those of us with sight.
If we were all blind
There’s much we’d miss
The smile of a child
The sneer of a bully
Beauty and fashion
Would count for naught
All attraction would be
To the person inside
If we were all blind
We’d never see color
On flowers or birds
Or peoples’ skin
How would we judge
If we couldn’t tell
Whether they wore
A cross or a burka
If we were all blind
There’s much we’d miss
But without eyesight
We’d look with our heart
Today’s post is day 2 of the A-Z challenge.
