BLIND WORLD

We often wonder

What does a blind can see

With white cane in his hand?

What is the point of going out,...

Where only night after night all around?

We often wonder, because we are blind to see

The world of inner sunbeams- invisible, but real,

Where darkness vanishes into the soul's light,

How many of us think of disabled people only up against own disasters?

Some build up their self esteem looking at them, others feel sorry,

When human rights violations by the healthy invalids...

Let's learn how to speak without using the voice,

Let's learn how to be in a hurry slowly,

Let's learn how to see with eyes closed...

WHEN YOU SEE A CLOUD...

When you see a cloud, fog, or mist,

Don't think it's only water vapor...

There is inspiration on bird's wing,...

A silent song from the top of mountain,

When you look at human being,

Don't think it's only blood and body,

There is something more in this

That can not be weighed and measured,

There is phenomenon of life and death

Brighter than sun and lighter than air.

IF LONGING HAD WINGS

If longing had wings

My thoughts could fly

Across the skies

Above your silence...
