Rewrite The Blind That See His plead a prayer, each bead a swear Of faith and love that he declares. A zealots firm belief within Those hands so fragile, skin so thin. He swears away life in prayer Even though the beads do wear. And the string grows thinner each day As his fingers wrinkle and grey. Yet through those blind and staring eyes Each bead sends out his silent cries From a mind and heart within To stay from satin and his sin. Never a pause, never a stop The beads in circle touch and drop Each drop a message from his soul A rosary of moral goal. I wonder at this blind moolvie If he is blind then what of me? |

Sometimes the blind can see things more clearly than those of us with sight. Well done. |

Perceptions vary with point of view - - well said - sometimes we need more introspection |

The man may have been withering physically, but his soul grew stronger with everyday. God bless. |

Very fine piece. Great rhythm and flow as well as thought provoking. I do think you want Satan instead of satin. Satin is for sheets and wedding gowns. ;o |

Virginia, perhaps, not...Sy has a wonderful way of playing with words and getting those of us who see the shallow feel the deep... |
