I Can See

I seen a man I seen a man Bearing the weight of his yore problems in life No tears wept, he left the emotions to his wife I seen a man Daring to proceed in front of crowds and be his own person Discovering the independence of his character in confusion I seen a man Touch not, he could not feel Speak not, his mouth was sealed Hear not, no one can listen to his mind Taste not, the insipid peels of lime I seen a man In his wild days, love, would be thrown out there Following an untraced path, set in air Hate would bubble within But it would not erupt, only applause... Fading His story would confuse the young, puzzle the old This is just the introduction untold I seen a man Imaged in black and white I seen a man But I am blind I seen a man I seen a man Rebecca C*

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
