To The Blind That Are Dreaming

Before I was blind there were dreams.
But seeing my dreams
before I could see, depended
on how much you could really see.
--
Blind before birth,
and what you have asked of me.
Having my, our, hearing dreams-
your perception
is sound, sound that is seen;
left more unsaid about me.
--
I still see to see in my dreams
as one
where I'm still alive.
--
What they must contain,
the colors within.
and sound, I can feel: taste
and touch.
--
To remember one dream
that one special dream, I still dream
when awake I can see,
when my wife I first met
and how she will forever look,
In my dreams.
