Sense of Touch
His blinded eyes can no longer see the bird
that wafts above like whispers soft unsung
the feathered wind upon his brow is mute
instead he hears the bird a wren perhaps
that flies among the silver stars so bright
His tattered dress belies his strength of mind
with sense of touch and smell acute that helps
him wander through the dawn of days with smiles
So long ago he strummed a harp with strings
of gold that sang beneath his fingers deft
and even now he hears the notes so sweet
enriched by little birds who trill for him
with resonating sounds on streams of air
His eyes unsighted and yet he clearly sees
what beauty nature owns that brings him light
despite his hooded eyes and rags for clothes
