The First Sunrise

A blind man opens his eyes to see his first sunrise From behind the hills a warm light gives birth to a thousand rainbows With the new day comes a hope and anticipation that all will be as beautiful as he had dreamed He has felt the sun on his face, he has been touched by the wind he has heard the voice of the morning But now those things which have always been are new, somehow changed For the light has brought new meaning to his world He finds no disappointment as the beauty in his mind is paled by the true beauty of the vision before him It has gone beyond his dreams and taken his heart to a place beyond rainbows above the stars Now the wonder of the world is no longer a mystery and has become a truth He has seen what was once a dream, he has touched his yearning he has finally embraced the light which surrounds him Not with his eyes not with his hands but with his heart With his soul
