My Sightless Serenity

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart" Helen Keller In deepest darkness I wander the street. Sounds looming, people rushing, don’t feel weak. Bravely stepping. Child’s laughter makes me smile. I come to the road with cars whizzing by. Sun’s rays upon my face, I feel the heat. Each stride to the unknown. Cool shadows streak. Combination of scents and smells beguile. Sharp senses, with confidence I rely. My white stick taps out a sweet happy beat. I’m enjoying my walk no longer meek. Feeling I belong, I will stay a while. I’m part of this bustling city, that’s why. Special feelings come now that I am blind. What my eyes don’t see, I see with my mind.
