The Flowers

A blind teenager sees for the first time.

Today,
I saw
The flowers
For the first
Time.

People
Told me
They were
Beautiful.
They lied.

The real
Beauties
Were the
People
I saw

They came
In different
Colours.
Different shapes.
Different sizes.

I think
The eyes
Were the
Most beautiful.
So many colours.

Blue
Green
Brown
Teal
Or mixtures.

The eyes,
They were
Windows
To our souls.
Never exactly alike.
