Blind Hands

I wish I could share
the pictures in my head
give them shape and color
for others to behold
but alas
my mind's bright vista
is locked inside
my mind can see
with awesome clarity
but my hands are blind
all that is left to me
is to try to convey
images with words
letters
always the same shapes
just different combinations
words that will convey emotion,
texture, smell
bring a vivid picture that
hopefully resembles what I see
and if I am lucky
I can paint the words right
