Blindfold

I feel the sea washing over my pebbles My sand, the flesh, faltering into A great wash of darkness pouring over me Like the spill of a vast ink well It is two skies clashing like Folds; a curtain. Shaded And saved by a generous Hand, blinding my eyes like A mask. An all-giving blindfold Passing for only a moment Delicate as fresh snow It reveals a secret. A new World, refreshed and vibrant Buzzing like bees in this great Sea-swamped hive. It is a Very simple pleasure. _ The insomniac finally got some sleep! Not a full night, but sleep is sleep.

Great reflection on the way other senses are enhanced when our eyes are closed. And I'm glad you got some sleep! What's your secret, Nathaniel? I think I've tried everything. (Too many thoughts racing through the old mind.) Very nice poem! Love, Carolyn
