In Eyes of Sight
22 March 2006

Her eyes covered
for thus was blind to see
Yet her voice a sweet presence
as to occupy a mind in listening

Distance divided upon Canaan
another land to wander in kind
The hours a dividend upon a table
a glass box as to crystal gaze

Her haven - his evening delight
restlessness a way of being
One to suffer in another of sleep
delight a centrifuge to savour

Our world driven in gravity
upon an axis of time in turn
Love not a realistic answer
yet joy was her in eyes of sight

“Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been
honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore
will I give . . . for thee, and people for thy life.”
Isaiah 43: 4 KJV

This was a beautiful poem. I don't think I quite get the drift of it, but I found myself feeling good as I read it and that is what is important to me - is how the reading makes you feel and what it makes you think. To me, this lady saw beauty though she was blind and she was beautiful to see. I enjoyed your poem.
