Blind's Sight

En route to the cinema's glow, A blind beggar's fate I came to know. Into his bowl, twisted and worn, A coin I cast, its journey born. His hands, unclean, searched and found, The coin's worth in a world unsound. His face, a canvas of life's unjust, Shone through the grime, a trust. "Thanks for the bread, master," he spoke, Words trailing off, a pattern broke. Since that encounter, I've come to crave, A vision like his, profoundly brave. For in his darkness, he sees more clear, Than eyes that watch, yet never peer. Emm* Copyright:15/08/2014

Really beautiful with an important message. It's so easy to become blind, even choose to be. Seeing, really seeing, not just looking, is very difficult at times, and painful, but necessary. Favourited this one.

Thanks for your visit Brenda, it is insight and perception that actually makes a difference otherwise all of us see the same thing.
