Blind
In a calm black
Darker than darkness
I'm perfectly blind
With ignorance to confess
All there is that I can sense
Is the movement of my chest
I can hear and imagine
Nothing besides my breath
This place is unfamiliar
Yet I've been here many times
The same color, the same silence
You'd not sense a life or dime
Although the lack of light
Would seem to impend doom
Somehow I feel infinite hope
As if it thrives in this dark room
I want my eyes to open
But they stay closed for unknown reason
I long for a flicker of light
In this black so cold, so freezing
I hope and I hope for a sight to come
What I'll see, I don't know
All I know is I'm blind to the future
And all I have for it is hope
