Blind

A raindrop plummets
To the ground
My ears too weak
To hear the sound
But if they could
What would they hear?
And would I notice,
Would I care?

Would orchestrated
Music flow
A song, a tune
That we don't know
And no-one's ever
Heard before
Just as one raindrop
Hits the floor?

What if my sight
Were sharper too?
What could be seen?
Would things look new?
Would they look fresh?
Would they look bright?
If only I had
Better sight?

No shadows to
Distract the eye
A world of light!
But I would sigh
Our mysteries hide
In the dark,
If all lit up
By one bright spark

The world would see
The faults and lies
They'd see the pain
They's hear the cries
The bliss of ignorance
Is true
It hides the black
And hides the blue

I'm sticking with
The sense I've got
Nothing too cold
Nothing too hot
Nothing too dark
Nothing too bright
My ignorance
And lack of sight
