Notes About The Poem

The creation informs the blind man and so does the Spirit of God. The "seed" that makes this possible is faith. It creates the channel by which the Spirit informs man's spirit (Romans 8:16; Acts 8:29).

The Blind Man

Witness the blind man
For though he cannot see
Those things of beauty and truth
By the singing of the birds-
He knows the sun rises
By the cooling of the earth-
He knows the sun sets
Though nothing appears to him
Things which are seen manifest
When the seed he plants
Yields the harvest of understanding
