Best Blindness Poems

In A Sad Blindness, One May Yet Find Hope
           (The Solemn Prayer)

Raining splashing, fierce winds blowing and huge trees sway
I pray not for all this, on some other black day
With dark blue shadows plotting my...

In Our Blindness, Chalked Up To Just Be Fate

Life, its complexity truly astounds
astounds this old soul so sadly earthbound
earthbound but not without imagined flight
flight into blue heavens's glimmering night.
Night of ill winds that beggars disbelief
disbelief of blindness that brings dark grief
grief of those lost, dying...

Sure as spring-ebullient cedes to summer’s escapades
In vagaries of time a budding flower parches and fades
And the sweet sound of hatchlings abandons its nest
And autumn’s gilded leaves perish in throes of decay
And dethroned from its apex, sun-glorious as well sets.

Much alike nature, as life unleashes...

How Can Deep Folly, Abject Blindness Banish Hope
   (How Easily We Are Deceived, Hope Lost)


I recall darkness, creeping edges of power
ease of entry in that first forlorn hour.
No worries, as it entered with its soothing host
aye, but with one true goal, my soul...

Of The Greeks, Olympus, Blindness Of Modern Man

And the modern Gods laugh poisoning wells 
While their blinded throngs hide under sad stones
From the deepest pits come magical spells
To birth new sins from which we must atone
Blackness, its powers hold billions as slaves 
As this world...

On My Blindness

I'm going blind;
Blind from picking roses in the graveyard.
Blind from being what I'm not.
Blind from being what I am.

I am losing my sight;
Once I could shoot a rabbit
At a hundred yards.
In the head.

Oh God, I'm losing my eyes.
From dancing to long in the...

Racism in a kids eye 

    Daddy asked "tell me, which guy do you think is going to win?"

She answered "the guy with the hat"

She didn't say, "oh the white guy, or the black guy, or the light skinned guy...."

She got mommy...

Love is blindness I want to see,
All these feelings inside of me.
I look yet cannot understand,
I try to hold on the best I can.

I want to hear the words said,
But they rattle inside my head.
I want to break free find my way,
Yet I wind up...

Piled up for years, eventually being inaugurated,         b

We see only skin
that protects the inner soul...
like reading one's mind

It continues to befuddle my inquisitive mind
why many of you have attacked and maligned
vaccines, and have decided to become aligned
with other naysayers. Are you physically blind?

It's not amusing when false dogma spreads terror
Your claims are outrageous and uttered in error
Open your eyes to the truth,...

Strokes of paintbrush can't capture

Being Your Eyes for Swell 2007
Swell: Currumbin Sculpture Festival
 
For Fred
Picture us arm in arm, strolling,
the crunch of sand underfoot,
the scent of sea air, the touch of sea wind
on our skin, again on the beach at Currumbin.
 
Your eyes are failing now
yet, with my words...

Forlorn clouds of loneliness engulf me in shades of grey,
  pastel sounds of life and love grow dimmer to me every day.
I can feel the burning sunshine dancing on my back,
  snatching colors from my world, it melts them into black.

Lost amidst the...

it is getting dim

my vision fades more each day-

                              I hear birds singing
