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

Pulse

Curtain darkness,

engulfed by shadow:

Endlessly searching

without direction -

no north, no south

no eyes, no mouth

Cast out to see

without a pole,

I float the scene

in boats unknown.

Each day, each night

I know not right,

begin to see that I'm the light.
