Touching Truth...

Ekphrastic Prompt: A Tibetan Prayer Wheel

My fingers trace

unspoken words

a book in braille

a Tibetan prayer wheel

so many etchings on a wall

that speaks of truth

and beauty

without sound.

Feeling with the tips

of my fingers

what I cannot see.

What I will never hear.

Songs on the wind that

I feel with my face

as lyrics whoosh by

in gusts of melodies

unheard -

But music can be felt!

The vibrations that

speak to me in ways

no one else can.

The sun whispers secrets

I will never hear - but

I feel the warmth enough

to know it's a nice day

outside, in a silent

world vibing only for

those of us in tune

to the cosmic truth

written and composed

for the blind and deaf,

the special ones

who can touch the truth.

Thanks for reading! - Sam
