Without Sight
One night
God whispered
in my ear,
"Which sense
could you live
without?"
At ease,
I knew:
my sight.
"Surely,
I could see
the world
much better
if my eyes
were not intact,"
said I.
"How's that?"
my Angel sighed.
For one
cannot truly
see the world
without tasting
the sweet nectar of a lily,
without smelling
the salt of the sea,
without brushing
one's fingers across
the bark of a maple,
without hearing
a lark's melody.
"Besides," I sang,
"A sixth sense,
I possess.
For my hands
can turn
mind-bound thoughts
and feelings
into
the music of the heart,
a watercolor sunrise,
the smell of rosemary and thyme,
a piece of chocolate cake
melting on your tongue,
and even what it's like
to touch the stars."
"I see," spoke my Savior.
"I shall set you free.
Soar with
the wings
you do not have,
dive with
the flippers
you don't possess,
and dream with
an imagination
bigger than the sun."
