Utterly Blind

I am blinded, then I see.
I see, then I am blind.
When one is utterly blind,
every moment is filled
with blindness.

There are no moments then
to remind onself of the light:
darkness swallowed whole.
And it is in these times
we find our ultimate test.

Running blind what keeps
me from going astray?
Gather strength, soak oneself
in deep love and trust,
for this will carry you through.

Though still the passage
be utterly dark,
the traveller
utterly blind.
