Hand on darkness
Some years ago, I realised
I am the driver of my life
And so I chose light
It was a difficult decision
More difficult than it sounds
It’s hard to know what it is to see
When there’s no darkness around
It’s easy to equate pain with feeling
To attach pain to being
And so I never ran from the dark

Yes, I'm Blind
All I can do is follow my heart
The one that you fill.
You made me unique.

So there is hope.
I follow my heart
Where it leads, I go.
Yes, I am blind...
But I can feel the light.

There
is an absence, but the scream still flows from the body as if it were not mine.
I am
the space between the light that is no longer seen.

Light/Shadow
The light fades slowly on the horizon
like a farewell, hesitant and forlorn
and the night is born with no hurry to be night
lost in the shadows of what’s yet to be drawn
There’s something in the air, a gentle sigh
an unseen movement drifting through the trees
a secret vanishing with the breeze
perhaps a memory that never learned to fly
Words may fade
but silences still hold their weig...
