Thoughts adrift, hidden upon a hilltop
Born out of a breath from thy forest
And raised by the hush of the land
That lay in stillness upon him

Crunching leaves breaking endlessly below his feet
Serve to strengthen yet another feat
For he kneads by touching
But, first in seeing
Yes, first in feeling

Hands open
Stretched before the sun of the moon
As thy midnight stars enfolding
Patterns in swirls delight
Yes, this is the part he loves most


To stand in silence, yet hear and listen
To the calling winds rising from the hush of the land
Easel in hand
He finds a tool to breathe
Finding thy way with great ease
As simple petals fall unto his breath
And the wind gathers his flight

Chere*

Wow!! Great poem! It makes you think about the fact that not everyone is gifted with sight... Nice Job...
