No sounds are made, her world is hushed She dances in darkness to music not heard Imagines things that to us would be absurd Lives in tranquility, where nothing is rushed Through Braille she lives with fingers as guide She weaves through valleys, mountains high She'll never have to witness a loved one die No evil to see or hear, no lies she will hide No sorrow do I feel for her lack of the gifts we take for granted, ones we abuse; misuse She's better off not seeing life's colorful hues or the black and white of men who cause rifts She builds her castles without moats of fear Soars in the clouds upon gold and silver wings In mumbled but beautiful voice, she sings She makes me aware that angels are here

This is the kind of flow, feeling and sensitivity that made me fall in love with your pen ... just wonderful. I needed some beauty today, it just took a bit of digging. Going to my faves.

Thanks, Sage. Be assured that each time she falls, she will get back up and keep dancing.

If it were ever possible to read with "seeing" eyes shut and still see...this would be that poem to read! She sees more than most ever will! Nice one Lin...Nice!
