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.
