The School for the Blind

So I asked the policeman where the School for the Blind is, and he pointed to the building in front of me.

                                                         The School for the Blind

                                                      

                                                         is where you learn to feel

                                                         and want to touch everything

                                                         you truly want to know;

                                                         is where you learn the smell

                                                         of dusk and how it differs

                                                         from the dawn;

                                                         is where you learn to taste

                                                         lemon and moonlight

                                                         in the air;

                                                         is where you learn to hear

                                                         the silence between

                                                         the sounds and beyond

                                                         mere lack of noise;

                                                         is where you learn

                                                         what you can

                                                         and cannot see.
