Unbearable Beauty In Black

Her black long gown covered her all, Neckline designed with a beautiful lace. Even the satin scarf matched her attire, Shimmering skin and a beautiful face. She appeared glued to garden bench, As it slightly drizzled, she didn't leave. While breeze played with her curly hair, I smiled, but no response did I receive. Her perfect black eyes touched my soul, I imagined her as fairy tale princess. Could she be from a different planet? Silently stared at her long black dress. She felt the bench with both hands, And then something she tried to find. Behind the bench she grabbed walk stick, I was shocked to know she was blind. The only color she knew was black, And her day was as dark as the night. I admired her courage and beauty in black, She left, watched her until out of sight. Nov 8, 2016.
