Blind is the mind shielded from truth sheltered of insight blinded from intuition unfeeling of love.
Blind is the mind of little care for what is out there beyond the line of sight.
Blind is the mind that sleeps though concious automatic in reaction responding to impulse habit and fear.
Blind is the mind counting money as valur treasuring the material as the measure of life.
Blind is the mind frightened of love fearing a loss of control to unburden the soul.
Blind is the mind lacking compassion lost in self worth feeding an appetite of selfless greed.
Blind is the mind that is not aware conciousness is a state obove self.
Blind is the mind that life is a journey we travel alone into the unknown on a voyage towards wisdom to atone.
Heavy is the heart that realises to late the time has passed that glimpse was the last.
