Blindness

 

As perceptive as I am, I am blind

I can feel, I can smell

you near me, yet further away from me

leaving me to dwell here

wondering if I did the right thing

Lost in my self-woven web

I only see a glimmer of the truth

Who am I?

Am I death?

Am I lost?

 

Jesus saved those who wanted to be saved

Yet the rest of us are here

Are we deprived of life therefore?

Static feels like a silk cobweb

Rushing through my body

Living for the moment, not knowing

not wanting, just existing

In a world I didn't make, nor chose

Destroy me now, if you must

And together we will return

to what we all will be

bones in a corner gathering dust.
