Will you please explain to me What light Is –
about, the wonders that man sees which are all his
how does sight help you in your daily life
how live you in a world of confusion and strife?
You talk about the exciting things which you always see
About majestic mountains, and the roaring sea
You say the sun shines bright, but I can only feel that he is warm
I cannot see day or night, or even a rain or storm.
My day’s the time when I wake up and play
My night – the time, when I call it a day
But would it be really true to say
That if I keep awake for 24 hours, it will always be day?
you all sigh and grieve over the sight I have lost
you say it’s a hopeless war that much indeed has cost
but I’m certain that patience will make me bear it with a smile
the loss that I can never know, and which you alone do style.
So do not harp upon the loss, and make me feel sad
Let not what’s a trifle, become a thing that is bad
Do not destroy the cheer the prevails in my mind
For I am a serene person, although I am blind

Are you really blind?
what do you think? lol
this piece again, is a figment of imagination putting myself in the place of a blind person - and was written quite a few years back
i thank God for my sight - makes me appreciate the beauty around me, and am sure you do so too
sharing another comment received -
without physical eyes man may be called blind, but by mental inner eye, he can vigilantly find. Famous blind Indian poet Bhima bhoi is an example.
