My Phantom of Braille

I often tap my cane of Braille
To lap the path that I might sail
A phantom staff of symbols cast
To mast the graph of futures last

It is a magic mind of flow
Each flake of new a different snow
Wondering worlds of fantasy
Argosies of literacy

The limit of my privilege
Stays horizons pilgrimage
And I am conquered by the awe
The very thought of evermore

I’m overwhelmed by minuscule
And cannot use an omni tool
To fool the fantasy of goal
And thereby grant myself a soul

And if this soul I would anoint
The status of my very point

===========================

writing fiction today?
I got news for ya Sy-babers...your pen is your "omni" tool...and your poetry is the coolest of the cool.

Love the internal rhymes and word play in this Sy-guy.
