Blind Man

 

 

         

 

 

 

I feel like a blind man

Walking in the dark

Who thought a door was open,

Yet walks into it, shut.

Whose old wounds, that to his knowledge

Were healed, are open.

Who thought he had reached

His journey's end,

But realized he was still

Miles from his destination.

Must I answer all the questions?

Am I to produce a timetable

Of every week, every day,

Every minute, every moment?

Though the hardest fire

To extinguish is the fire

Kindled by love,

The cold water lies stagnant

And gradually douses

The flame.
