Challenge
Okay Prosers, this challenge is very close to my heart. I was talking to one of my dear friends the other day who is blind. She never complains about it and is always laughing and a ray of sunshine but on this day she confessed that she was feeling down. "It's just darkness all the time," she said. Said it twice. Her words cut me to the core. I wanted to say something, anything by way of empathy, but mostly I wanted to paint her sight back somehow. Calling all painters, poets, and word magician

A Butterfly in the Darkness
She flutters her wings
And floats on rays of light
Bashful winks and soft kisses
Land on silk petals
The flowers blush in her magnificent presence
They call out to her with charming words,
Their sweet nectar promises
The butterfly delights
She is vain but what does that matter
For who else can carry all the light we cannot see
And still land so softly upon our shoulders
