Unseen

My hands in front of me

My fingers feeling the edge of an object

My eyebrows furrowed in concentration

My eyelids shut tight

 

Colours disappeared from my life

Enveloping me in total darkness and blackness

Unable to see

Sightless

 

Losing my sight

Everything became lifeless

Unable to see my loved ones

Enjoying themselves underneath the sun

Unable to read a story for my child

My voice lullabying her to sleep

 

I felt something touching my elbow

Even though I cannot see anymore

I can sense that

It is the touch of my daughter

The touch of concern

I felt her little hand in mine

The touch of contentment

She gave me a little hug

The touch of love
