The Essence Of Who I Am

When I was younger I would pretend I was blind

I would go outside and close my eyes

I would feel the breeze on my face and hang the clothes

On the line

I would feel the rubbery wire 

With my fingers

The wet clothes felt so cool

And I would hang them up with the splintery wooden pins

Sometimes I wish I could go back to that simple time

I don’t even know why

Those memories feel so sacred

Simpler 

I was able to see life in a new way

And it was beautiful 

The way I saw the world without actually using my eyes

M.A.P
