Today
Hiking the busy trails
outside of Boulder.
It was an easy
yet rocky hilly trail
The sky beautiful,
The Rockies majestic
I met a woman roaming down
the trail, cane in hand
Wearing sunglasses
Legally blind feeling her way
down the trail.
We talked briefly
She seemed joyous happy
to be out in nature.
I closed my eyes
momentarily the same
Walking down the trail
Eyes closed
trying to experience
her experience feeling
the wind, smelling pine, listening
To the song of a bird
only
To open my eyes and spoil
the illusion.
I would love to hear you opinion as well
