Suzanne Clarke | Blind Beauty Issue 42

“Tears, flowing, rolling down my cheeks,
My life described in verse.
I’ve been feeling this for weeks and weeks,
This blind poet can sure converse.
The poem that hits home to me,
Was truly written from the heart.
It’s okay to scared said he,
The permission to live could start.
He helps so many with blindness,
Reaching out with his poetry.” ~Suzanne Clarke

Sometimes in our darkest moments, we can find a sliver of hope in the light of another. For Suzanne Clarke who is losing her eyesight to Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) another living with the same disease became her hope.

In the attached video Suzanne reads a stirring poem (beginning at 5:14) inspired by Blind Poet, Dave Steele. Dave, who also has RP, is the author of the Stand By Me RP book series.

When Suzanne sent me her video I couldn’t wait to share it with you! Like so many others who’ve lost sight later in life, we share so much in common. Our commonalities help uplift those new to sight loss by showing them there is hope and life without sight.

Suzanne, thank you so much for allowing Bold Blind Beauty the pleasure of sharing your story.
