Learning
Blindness can hold itself out as vision
Ignorance can hold itself out as insight
Freezing away from a heart what beauty is and means
Life enhanced in that instant the lucid vision was first felt
And the one when the knowledge of lack knowledge manifested itself
Forcing discovery of the place where allure and love and connection flow
Like a horse in the starting paddock awaiting the pistol
Or a penned bull feeling the cowboy climb aboard next to the arena
Fettered power awaiting the transition, the explosion, the animation
A time arises to inhale the graces and charms wrought by found sight
Prospects sing out the roar of colors cloaked with perfume of a pounding heart
Contemplating this new life, new world, new place, new thing - new
With but a single regret.
