We've all heard it. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." The saying may have some merit, but what happens when the beholder can't see? How, then, is beauty to be perceived?
In seeing astounding beauty in a blind person and struggling to find way to tell her so, I realized that a person's true beauty is and always will be, "Beauty Unseen".

Wow! I came by accident to this site. I was looking for other sites to post my poems though am a resident poet too of another poem site. I find great pleasure in discovering Michael Anderson's poems (am still reading the rest but this one really captured my attention). Such a beautiful poem and the last line really amazed me! Indeed, how can a weaver of beautiful words prove the beauty of one who's blind? But Michael, you absolutely did it, by your earnest sincerity in forming those words :). This poem is great! Two thumbs up!
