Eyes

if there was no colors, how sad. i feel for the color blind people, without color a lot of my poems would not have been written. this was a great write, loved it. thank you for commenting on Mine to Behold. and that comment you made was really funny about the 3 perfect people in the world, will have to remember that one.

just returning to tell you how good this is!

I can't even imagine a world without sight Daver. Helen Keller was an inspiration to many blind people. It's way cool the way you sense colors in music, kind of like vibrations of an aura. Best to you, Diane

Daver...your quips and comments make me more than smile on my supersized french fries .. lipt to hips and now more great quips from u luv.. u so make my day my friend.. keep them comin'..

Daver, one Mothers Day I actually did hear my mother's voice admiring my begonias. Other spooky events like that have occurred as well, but I believe her spirit remains with me. Thanks for reading the poem. Love, Carolyn

Good day, Daver. Was moved by your comments, thank you. This piece reminds me of "Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 21 - Andante". Would be rough to lose one's sense of sight. Finding colour, vision, through music could be "construed a blessing". Wishing the best to you and yours! Love, Mikki

Brilliant and beautiful in one breath Dave.. and those eyes are surely the window to the soul and this is expressive and revealing.. what if no sight? well with the many eye issues I have had in recent months.. agree .. sight is important but seeing with 'soul eyes' even more lovely luv.. thankxx for your awesome comment on my poetry...contest entry... from lip to hips..now just gotta luv that phrase ...so true..

You sure made me wonder, Daver! I honestly feel that of all the senses, I think losing the sense of sight would devastate me the most but as I read this, hmm maybe you are right and it could be a blessing :) -- and heehee now you got me singing Moon River too & Mr. Sandman-- love Moon river though and Audrey Hepburn could picture her singing that-- thank you -- :) hugs

Daver, LOL.. no women. ... well we do nag a lot... and tell me what world did u wake up in... so I can send my fiance up there.. lol.. I'm just playing... a very lovely and beautiful described poem... I just like being silly sometimed... Enjoyed your poem:-) take care..p.d.

I am glad that the eye surgery went well..I hope that you will be able to see better than before with a super insight into others..Enjoyed reading this eve...Sara

daver, you grew reflective with the surgery. And I love what you produced here.

Delighted to hear the surgery went well, Daver. Barracudas or "'cudas" have very sharp teeth and can rip you apart, but they don't have large stinging snouts. You may be thinking of swordfish. Love, Carolyn

When our sense of sight is deprived, Daver, people say we rely more on other senses -- like hearing for music. Still, it would be sad to wake up and not be able to enjoy the beauty of the world around us. Hope you cataract surgery went well! Let me know, okay? Love, Carolyn

Daver, quite a thought provoking etheree you have here. Definitely a fav of mine today ;) love Wilma
