blinded

83 6 8
                                    

he sat on the grass
and looked up at the night sky
but he couldn't see the stars

he went walking through the garden
and gazed across the bushes
but he couldn't see the flowers

he attended a wedding
and sat amongst the pews
but he couldn't see the love

he visited a high school
and wandered the classrooms
but he couldn't see the learning

he stumbled across the funeral
and climbed inside the casket
and laid himself to rest

and he could see everything.
