Subject(s): Blindness; Love; Soul; Visually Handicapped
Blind I know with senses rising from fern and tree,
Blind lips and fingers trace a god no eyes can see,
Blind I touch love's monster form that bounds
My world of field and forest, crowns my hills.
Blind I worship a blind god in his hour
Whose serpent-wand over my soul has power
To lead the crowding souls back from the borders of death,
Heaven's swift-winged fiat, earth's primeval monolith.
