to see for the 'non-blind' to hear for the 'un-deaf'

on a stool on a floor higher than ground floor
did she sit, poised....staring out at a display, Autumn.

and as she gazed out daring to absorb
she wondered at the formula for appreciation, the quantum.

what was it that made most people blind
unaware of so much that throbbed with life itself.

resignation to a blind stare a lost shuffle
in the hurry home or work excuse oneself.

and thus she absorbed for all those that may not see
she strained her ears to hear for the un-deaf
still... still... she sat for fear that the intensity of the moment may flee
for before every sound heard there seemed to be a clef.

slowly, a play before her revealed
it be life itself to many concealed
and the notes of sounds of life alive
her blood gushed her heart beat, for all of it to absorb, did strive.
