A Blinding View

My mind is open

but  my eyes are closed

born blind

I see only darkness

It is this darkness

that makes me live behind a   curtain

a curtain that  is always closed

 I want so much

to be able look at this world

to see

 what it really is

I wish that I could look at all the beautiful things

Instead of having to be told of what they are

I would like to be able to look and tell you what some thing is

without having to always feel and touch it

I am saddened with the thought

 that I  live in reality and yet I cannot see it

I ‘m tired of always trying to imagine it

May be one day this curtain will be drawn

and my dream of vision will be fulfilled
