gift of sight

I know one day
you will take back my sight
you gave me at my entry
into this world!
deeply therefore I look
into every creation -
every macrocosm and
every microcosm;
and in my mind's expanse
chisel their shapes,
hues, size and smell indelibly!
you cannot hence
deprive me of the pleasures
of five senses on me you bestowed,
yes, my ears reverberate forever
the song and the fury of the waves!
