Thousands of years we have traveled
In a tunnel of darkness
Ruing and Cursing our stars

a wonderful tribute to a man for whom a dramatic change came in the lives of those who have lost eyesight. Thank you for this poem
Thank you for being on this page with an inspiring and appreciative note, Bipasha D.
It must be incredibly hard to make out letters and words by touch, a different, harder sort of reading. I doubt if I could do it. I would have difficulty sailing in that boat.
Yes, I also feel the same as you do. But, through continuous practice one can master the language- any language for that matter. Look at the practical side. No one else could offer a better alternative to this touch language. Thanks for your kind words of appreciation, Michael.
A great tribute to Louis Braille, the inventor of the tactile system of reading for the visually impaired! In the lives of millions of handicapped people with defective eyesight, this invention turned out to be such a blessing! When we have eyesight, we never know the value of it. Only when we are deprived of it, we come to know how blessed we are who are born without any physical deformities! Only because of Braille, Helen Keller could rise to such heights! Beautiful poem!
You are absolutely right, Valsa ji. We realise the value of something useful to us only when we lose it or it is taken away from us forcibly or through accident. Helen Keller was a big name who took utmost benefit of this touch technique to read and write. Thank you for this wonderful critique and also for adding value to it.
Whoa! Rajnish. I am not able to say, very often, that I was overwhelmed. This is a heartfelt and warm tribute.I could not begin to write such a thing. You are a poet. I thank you for a great start to my day. I really am taken with the expression I kneel down and bow my head
I am humbled by your kind words and the sentimental expressions. Thanks.
Amazing tribute to a great inventor... His contribution will ever live with all blind persons......heartfelt poem...10++++
Light is love; and, light is the way of peace. Nice work.
Generations after generations have traveled in the tunnel of darkness but we need to light the tunnel in God's wisdom of light. We remain grateful to light. Interesting sharing done definitely.10
