Tears of a Blind Man
If only I could embrace the Sun
And thank him for the warmth he freely provides.
I would kiss the Wind if I could but grasp it,
In return for the stinging kisses she
Has planted upon my cheek on a sunless day
Of February. If I could find the
Echo in the unfathomable pits of darkness,
I would play her a song on my merry
Mandolin, and she would sing it back to me.
If only the wild-rose were my daily fare,
And its luxurious taste pranced upon my tongue,
Just as its aroma danced through my nostrils.
If only the wind would come at my request;
If only the wind would kiss away these tears.
