Would you rather be
Deaf and blind
But feel the presence
Of the divine
Or would you prefer
Full vision
Perfect hearing
And a numb heart
A soul unmoved
By mystery
Wonder
By the nudges
Of a force
So loving
So whole
Whose knowledge
Pure intuition
Permeates every pore
And defies all reason
For deaf and blind
Would have peace
But full vision
And perfect hearing
Would have
Only numbness
Devoid of an appreciation
For all that is seen
Or heard
An appreciation
For all that goes unseen
Unheard
But felt
And known
In the cavernous recesses
Of an alive
soul
