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 March 2010
