I Cannot See Air But Air Can See Me

Heart beats in time

With the steps I take

Those which I cannot see

(Did I make you up

Inside my head?)

A rush of wind past my shoulder

A mere figment of extraordinary thought

Focused on the walk that

Is not in my sight

Or the reality

Of the blind world I take on

With one foot placed in front of the other

Rendering myself a walking disaster

As I determinedly keep my eyes shut

To observe the world

Through different senses

To make sense of the world

To see things I cannot ordinarily see

Through shadows and fumbles

With sunshine blazing towards

The thin eyelids I keep low

A smile across my face

Discovery of a new world beyond

The destruction only sight can reveal

And I assuage myself under the

False pretense of a reality

That is hidden in the darkness

For wind can be a breaking

Of the dawn

Or a large breath of nature

Threatening to whisk me away
