Senses Poem by Bellaina Bella Hernandez

I was blind to the earth
Earth was blind to me
Could hear everything
but could not speak
No touch could feel

Fell to the floor
someone pulled me up
and for once
i felt touch
from someone standing above

He taught me to feel
I taught him to hear
and together
we could speak

Last sense to come
was vital enough
to see my true love
first all the other senses
had to be
before i could see He

Eventually enough
I saw my true love
all that time waiting
was worth the anticipating
