tactile

.. to helen keller ..

' metaphysics '

a light would touch me
the darkness deaf,mute and blind
with no taste or smell

there is nobody
but the lavender floats in
i can sense her touch ..

  3. A very good tribute to Helen Keller...she sure taught so much about sight and touch to all mankind...to those who have eye but do not use them and to those with limited visual perception.

    She was a very gifted woman and I love the light you beamed around her.
