After "Writing in the Dark" by Denise Levertov (1987)
Such an inspiring sight
such blissful absence
of light!
A vision felt with passion,
eyes closed,
in a blind man's fashion.
There, the helping hand.
A sense of achievement,
the exhilarating joy,
even when the vision
is irreparably lost.
When I open my eyes again,
there is a gain
I sense with pride:
a new bit of me
inside.
