My vison has begun failing, my
Eyes, anyway,
Only causing me to realize
The sensates of the mundane
Are not needed in my case
I've got your inches memorized
'But what of my ravaging change' time cries
Such vagaries can be made irrelevant
Love and we shall soon show
The universe unfolds in more ways
Than fingers or words may reveal
Your lips, your hair, touched with snow
As an example, and
Now that I've so mentioned
My mind is fixed on you alone
I shall not need sight as I've seen you thus,
Nor touch for I've met your cheek with loving fingers
Nor even thought as your love I've known
I may perish in gladness, though
More importantly,
I may live the same.
