Challenge
Okay Prosers, this challenge is very close to my heart. I was talking to one of my dear friends the other day who is blind. She never complains about it and is always laughing and a ray of sunshine but on this day she confessed that she was feeling down. "It's just darkness all the time," she said. Said it twice.

A glimpse
the world is set in stained glass,
sectioned in lead for your touch,
the sun's heat radiates textures,
like cool earth softly stirring,
bumping up against
velvety petals fragrantly warm
water brushes the edges of
a velvety lawn
crushed under your bare feet
wet from the lake
sunshine kisses you on only one side
For the morning has come.
