Notes About The Poem

A Blind Man's Path

Towards this world I am ambivalent.

Seeking not for retribution 

but focusing on clarity of mind.

One may have a tenuous grasp on  reality 

and still, achieve this.

For a blind man in the fog 

has the same chance as the sighted.

Self-reliance and intuition are his eyes.

As clear as day he walks his way.

Only he knows his own heart.

Sunlite Wanter May 17, 2018 at 4:34 PM Perfect picture and so much beauty and truth. I had a grandmother and great aunt who were blind, and they were remarkably self-reliant.
