What is music to a deaf person?
They can see the words,
they can feel the beat
but what do they hear?
Do their minds make up
what they cannot cheat?

What are paintings to a blind person?
They can hear the description,
they can feel the canvas
but what do they see?
Do their minds make up
what is ever changeless?

When the time is down,
do people feel it pass?
When the air goes by,
Do people see the gas?
When they make it in their minds,
only they know what it really is.

When a blind person cries,
they can see the wound.
When a deaf person speaks,
they can feel the sound.
And in this reverie of ideal people
we only measure what a person does
by what it mean to us. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 167 [topic] => 43 [informant] => kirs [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
