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
