| BLIND IN AN ILLUMINATED WORLD! | |

It's for you all to judge in your own capacity. These are my feelings and experience. Feel free to comment on what your opinions are... BLIND IN AN ILLUMINATED WORLD! The world comes to a dead silence As the power goes off For a moment or two Each one of us goes blind Mind goes blank, then wanders Slowly the feet start moving Searching for a candle and match box Darkness engulfs its arms all around Suddenly everyone starts whispering Fear larks, not knowing The mystery lingers There’s calmness all around Silence becomes the beauty for a moment As darkness spreads its tentacles Accustomed to the illuminated world For a moment we become handicap Struggling with fear and doubts One wishes the darkness to go away As the hand finds the candle and match box The sigh of relief makes a sound With a spark everything is normal once again Imagine, have you ever? When you see a blind person Smiling, sharing and living life whole-heartedly A life that is engulfed in darkness forever With no fear to explore ever He treads his path fearlessly With no worry of illumination ever I see them every day on the railway station The bunch of FORTUNATE blind people Laughing, joking, pulling each other’s legs Sharing their joys and sorrows Not knowing the world is illuminated They enjoy the gift of life to the fullest While others are blinded by the illuminated world Fortunate are they (blind people) For they fear not about illumination Their world is illuminated with darkness They can see! They can feel They enjoy, they laugh While we pity them always WE are the actual blinds, living in the illuminated world! Johnny D 27th September 2006
