Watching Through Listening Ears

Blind from birth believing, seeing All he needed to see A bold witness to truth Undeniable faith, unshaken and piercing Through darkness overshadowed by night Blind from birth, both Eyes open, casting silhouettes On one who heal Pressing his way forward Hear him out Loud through silence Speaking in faith Joy exposed To one Bartimaeus

Thanks for the great comment. Bartimaeus was a blind beggar in the Bible who Jesus healed him. He was called Blind Bartimaeus.

I just realized that I didn't I need to rewrite this poem. It's suppose to contain stanzas of 5 lines, then 4 lines, then 3 lines, then 2 lines, ending with one word. This was my first time trying my hand at this form of poetry. I'm still learning.
