Blind but no fool

Netashi

Gaze of truth

Theta was here, sitting next to a blind man that knew as much as he did about himself, the man was honest and yet still kind. Theta was envious and yet still wished the man wasn’t blind.

  • Seeing beauty without blinking somehow

These people are honest and kind without being loud

  • For they see people for who they are with their mesmerizing gaze

They can see through masks and bring the truth and set the lies ablazed

  • Their touch is soft and so are their voices like a living flute

I feel soft dismay for they are burdened with this gift that is absolute

  • For why must the beautifulest flowers must have thorns I wonder

For these people can do so much more in life but they have been plundered

  • They have been plundered of their sight but not of their knowledge

For the blind are the smartest I have ever known that I can pledge

  • For they have nothing to look forward to but the truth

If you ever meet one you will notice they can see into you

    Very good write and so true. One of our friends is blind and she is one of the most positive people that I know.

      Theta (T) knows and appreciates these things, as in this fine write.
