Blind in a Deaf World

Folder: 
LOVE

I stand there and wait with you

You are the fresh air in a world of greys

And dirty sidewalks



We wait for that red 5 with headlights

And it comes, too quickly

I am wiping away tears on my face



You are kindness in a world of harsh words

And bitter grudges

And we sit silently



For our eyes speak louder than verbs

Or vocal cords ever could

And we find our way through the darkness and gloom

To a place of solitude and truth.



And I am white in a sea of black and greys

And dark blue skies

And you are color to my eyes

After blindness for so long



I am seeing for the first time

And yet, Not hearing.

Blind in a deaf world

But I'm starting to see



A different kind of beauty I've never known before

And we stand there and wait together

Hands linked, eyes searching

I sign and you smile,

Lighting up the entire station.



A kiss before we depart

And I am white again,

In a sea of black and greys

And dark blue skies
