Array ( [sid] => 106622 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Faded [time] => 2005-09-27 18:58:18 [hometext] => This is dedicated to the blind man that thought me about seeing whats infront of you... I hope you all like it... [bodytext] => _________------------______________

It hangs on a wall, museum hall, as it calls to passers by
A picture so bright, seen without light, and nobody wonders why
A tired old man stares at the wall, said the color's blinding me
How can he see anything at all since he's got no eyes to see

It's not too faded
I still see that color coming through
It's not too jaded
The more you look the more you see

Years ticked away colors turned gray, but the man's still standing there
Once asked him why, he said cause I am the last one here who cares
Told me the mind will show you more if you only set it free
He closed the doors I closed my eyes that's when I began to see

It's not too faded
I still see that color coming through
It's not too jaded
The more you look the more you see

I had a very close friend that was blind and she showed me things I would never have seen or understood by just looking at them. If you can see past the sight to use the other senses you will learn so much about life and people. It is simply looking far beyond what you can visualize with your eyes. You learn to see with your ears and watch with your touch. It is hard to explain but it is amazing. She was a big mentor of mine. Great write.
