I wrote this poem (which I turned into a video-there’s just something about surrounding your written words with images and music that bring them to life) from a perspective of one who’s slowly losing her vision.

I don’t think I have to tell you how much this impacts me. I am sitting here in tears. Wow!

I suppose I was in a dark place when I first wrote that. Some days are better than others as you know quite well.

I really am speechless…the line about the sun….Wow!!! I sometimes feel so alone in all of this. It is so hard to explain. But, when I read your words and heard the music and watched the images, I felt less alone.

Reblogged this on Stories From the Edge of Blindness and commented:
With poetry and music and images, Carrie Ann gets under the skin of blindness in ways that my mere words never could. I experienced this piece yesterday through a river of tears. Incredibly powerful!

As someone living with diabetic retinopathy, blind in my left eye, right eye impacted by floaters and warped-vision, you can well-imagine how powerful tumbling onto you, then listening to your poem was for me.
Much of my poetry revolves around physical issues of my body, and while I never wanted to be known as a “theme” poet, it seems m,any people respond quite strongly (in a good way) to y poetry about injury and recovery.
You’ve done a wonderful job here!
