None So Blind Poem by Seamus O' Brian
None So Blind
light emblazons my eyes
squinting tightly I repel the advance
eye embrace ignorance
Yes, a very good metaphor and I'm afraid true. It is difficult to strip off our inbred blindness. A very special Senryu. Do some more, please. I'll be waiting!
Thanks, Tom! I have been a bit cold on the writing side of life, but it always comes 'round. Thank you, as always, my friend. S
Hello, Seamus. Interesting new style. A very powerful statement in just a few words. Are you referring to how we/people often prefer ignorance and truth and enlightenment? I couldn't agree more. Nice one. Laurie.
Hello, Laurie! I like Senryu and Haiku when I am feeling poetic, but am short on time for a longer construction process. :) I had the image of the action of my eyes squinting to keep out the light as an embrace or hugging of the darkness. And, yes- exactly- a metaphor of embracing ignorance. Sometimes as humans, to perseverate our paradigms, to keep our prejudice intact of which we have become fond, we must repel any truth that threatens them. We must embrace the darkness of ignorance.
Eyes embrace ignorance sometimes due to influence of illusion in this Earth. Time impacts and matters change in this Earth that we come across. Darkness is symbol of ignorance and light is knowledge. Light gives vision to eyes and truth is perceived by knowledge only. This poem is very deeply philosophical. Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem that is excellently penned....10
Thank you, my friend. A pleasure to read your thoughtful comments. Be blessed, my good poet!
