Strength of my Spirit (Chained Double Tetractys)

Blind
I was
before you
without concept
without knowing the world could be so deep
as to absorb sound in distance untold
and now I see
you were there
always
mute:
"shh"
silence
reflects back
all that you give
so it is easy to take that first step
seeing glory, singing praise, all for you
who never failed
to be there
for me,
mom.

The Tetractys consists of at least 5 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 10 syllables (total of 20). Tetractys can be written with more than one verse, but must follow suit with an inverted syllable count. Tetractys can also be reversed and written 10, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Double Tetractys: 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 10, 4, 3, 2, 1
