Not Blind
Mariyam Modan
Does love really blind true sight
or does it make it clear?
It may blind others, but it gives me light;
love comes to me and takes away the fear.
I may stop for some time
to question what love actually did to me.
My mind seeks an answer for the crime,
when I finally realize-- I’ve become free.
Free from the restrictions that love
revealed to me.
The eye opener of what love has actually
done.
It rubbed the dust from my eyes.
It has won.
I knew then that love hadn't made me blind;
love taught me to open my mind.
