House of the Blind

They see what they want to see
They scrawl into dark places in search of light
They are scribes of a promised rainbow
That so far hasn’t appeared after the rain
Still they hope, still they believe

They know what they know
Their faith is a thing hoped for
A reality not yet beheld
They revel in meaning
Although, not clear to the world

They are partners of spirit and blood
They perceive things, they hear things
They touch things, they taste things
Their senses are sharpen to behold signs
They belch at scientific reasoning

Their king is not of this earth
Their gathered voices sing like church bells.
To a phantom on high
They debate if it is male or female, black or white
They war over its true name

They see what they want to see
They have candles where there hearts should be
Their souls are wicks of flame
They believe these wicks can never be snuffed out
They sing in their pews in a collective voice

They see more than humanly possible
They see with stained glass pupils
They see with irises of paper windmills
Turning with hands clasped together
Skin cathedrals arched towards the sky

Now I see
