Sightless Love

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye."
-- Antoine de Saint Exupery (The Little Prince)

Your face is yet invisible, perhaps will always be,
And yet, your kind attention is there for me to see,

Your words are filled with laughter, with a happiness that’s rare,
And the measure of your passion really shows how much you care,

“The Little Prince” so rightly said that vision must be felt,
As toward essential joys of hope and love we are impelled,

For when love “feels right” and to us its deep felt joys impart,
Our sightless eyes can only thrill at love within the heart.
