The Blind Mans Shoes

For those who judge and for he that will be eaten by his own disillusioned vanity.

 

 

The Blind Mans Shoes

 

Take a walk with me,

Breathe new air with me,

Ask the blind man if you may borrow his shoes...

 

Embrace the truth my friend,

Feed your hungry stomach,

See life naked as it should be seen.

 

If you can not see a chiselled shell,

What do you see?

 

If you can not see rosebud lips,

What do you see?

 

Can you see the blackened heart?

Are you to die from the frost?

I pray you take a walk in the blind mans shoes…

 

In the darkest days he sees cherry blossom,

In the cold of night he is not alone,

Vanity holds no chains for him and from his eyes you can not hide.

 

Let him be your guide.

 

Author's Note

Just a few thoughts. Vanity is the ugliest trait, after all the outside is just packaging, the real gift is underneath those layers.

A lot of us need to borrow the blind man's shoes and acquire the ability to look within. "From his eyes you cannot hide " because he is not deceived by appearances and sees the person within.He is not deceived by false illumination and never blinded by light. Great work and I am yet to fathom the enitirity of its dark depths.

This is a great little piece! The premise of the blind works so perfectly, revealing the wisdom to be had in humility. The ending is brilliant, ties it all together in a nice little wake-up-call.

Beautifully penned.
