Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

I May As Well Be Blind

this is all new to me
i don't know what to think, what to say
in what direction to throw myself

it's new to me, a first, a last
i wonder where to look
i've lost my bearings

the compass of my heart
says you are my north
so i veer in that direction

forward, onward
believing there's some reason
trusting there's a higher purpose

so with little or no hesitation
i keep right on heading north ~
