Blindness can hold itself out as vision Ignorance can hold itself out as insight Freezing away from a heart what beauty is and means Life enhanced in that instant the lucid vision was first felt And the one when the knowledge of lack knowledge manifested itself Forcing discovery of the place where allure and love and connection flow Like a horse in the starting paddock awaiting the pistol Or a penned bull feeling the cowboy climb aboard next to the arena Fettered power awaiting the transition, the explosion, the animation A time arises to inhale the graces and charms wrought by found sight Prospects sing out the roar of colors cloaked with perfume of a pounding heart Contemplating this new life, new world, new place, new thing - new With but a single regret.
