You have a beautiful blog! Although I am more of a fiber artist than a writer, I love reading and writing and have also dabbled in poetry (still do occasionally)....drop by and visit me at my blog!!
I'd like to think that the blind could offer vision that extends beyond sight. A friend lost the sight in one eye recently. It is irreversible. I wrote him:
just as beautiful no matter how many eyes look upon the world
thanks for your visit and kind comments at my blog
Yes it is irreversible. One needs a lot of courage to come to terms with this loss.
When I close my eyes for meditation, I experience an heightened sense of sound, and some how an overall increase in awareness. I think The blind do have that increased awareness.
Dark and light both have their importance, if day fill you with energy, dark soothes your fatigued body and mind and lulls you to sleep. Byt th perpetual dark is scary.
I believe that perpetual darkness can really only exist when the attitude is perpetually dark! Day may never dawn physically for the blind, but there can be light within!
Intriguing words.
ReplyDeleteThank Anthony!

Terribly sad.
ReplyDeleteI hope science finds a way to restore every lost vision!

Nice haiku...but why this negativity? Never thought this way....:)
ReplyDeleteI know it is little pessimistic, but accepting a life without vision can push you towards pessimism for a while.
Deletespecially love your first line..
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading and appreciating!
DeleteVery well said and sad
ReplyDeleteYes it is a little disheartening! Thanks for reading!
DeleteWhat could lift the seal and get the world moving again... I love me some mystery ;p
ReplyDeleteComing to terms with the loss and searching for meaningful ways of existence. Many blind people have excelled in the fields of arts and music.
DeleteThanks Hazel!
What dusk is this that seals the world in perpetual darkness?
ReplyDeleteBlindness. When it happens to a person, it seals his world in an unending darkness.

ReplyDeleteyes, Jas, something difficult to empathise with.

This evokes a very different feeling about darkness.

ReplyDeleteLovely, but I suggest your drop 'When' :-)
I did, thanks for the great suggestion!
