A Blind Man's Sight
Shrouded in darkness,
no color,
no light.
How then,
does a blind man see?
Every feathery touch,
every breeze,
the feel of silk,
soft, warm skin,
smooth leather
rough canvas.
The tactile imagination
of a blind man's
sight.

Tactile
A short vocabulary lesson: tactile-adj. pertaining to touch. Now that you know the definition, you can enjoy the poem. :)

Very nice perspective. This week I was inspired by Jose' Saramago's book, Blindness. Finding tactile seems easier without the option of vision.
