My Eyes Cannot See

My eyes cannot see
The greatest gift of all

The baby steps it takes
The beaming paths it leaves
The doors it knocks on
The hands it shakes
The meetings it nourishes
The memories it cherishes

The flowers it blossoms
The bees it feeds
The sweets it sows
The incense it sprays
The air it freshens

My eyes cannot see the smallest particles
My ears cannot hear the silent music 
My fingers cannot touch its hidden fibers
My tongue can only speak half or none of what its worth
My nose cannot smell the beauty it emits 

It can only feel


"love is blindness"
