Rhythm of a blind dog

age devourers vision

chokes on spirit

and lacks taste for love

for I watched an old blind dog dance

following the foot steps of intuition

bobbing between the systems of touch

his world now canted light

judged by the scent of the worlds perfume

and the never ending live music

staged upon Earths carpeted floor

afire below the suns following spot light

follow him it did

and I clapped

for the grass moved with him

and so did I

We had a cat who went blind. She was a house cat, and rarely ventured outside. We had a litter tray for her, and she always found it when she needed it. And she'd come to us and rub against us, purring, even when she could not see us. She knew the house from back to front. This write reminded me of her.

This is beautiful.

I am legally blind.

his world now canted light

Canted light and a deeper connection with all that is either unseen or goes unnoticed.

This spoke directly to me. Love it.

interesting poem my friend, I am not sure if the main idea behind this is the "blindness of people" whom are controlled inside their minds and can't think outside of it, specially when it's controlled by fear, they all will dance the same moves like some robots.
