Very much like meditation, no sound or sight, just being.
I've built a forest world in my head to escape to, especially when the depression hits. I guess my bi-polar disorder is a handicap, and my forest world helps.
Nice write Patrick.

Patrick, I liked this a lot. I have twin uncles that are blind and they have never let that stop them from doing anything. They navigate better than a lot of sighted people. The ability to shut out the world has it's pluses. I can totally see where at first it could be quite unnerving but after awhile rather tranquil. Well done-

An interesting thought provoking piece. Having spent some time with blind people of different ages and backgrounds, one of the things that I discovered was how the challenges of being blind impact people differetly based on background and the age they went blind. So this piece certainly does provoke positive thoughts

Oh be still my heart Patrick!

This poem is powerful and I am a firm believer in making life work with what has been delt....

Really happy I read this poem today!
