DISCOVERY, THE GREAT ADVENTURE, THE WONDER SPELL

A Tribute to Helen Keller and Annie Sullivan

In the dark, quiet hours of night,

I thought of you, Helen:

how locked in lightless soundless

prisons

your energies fought their futile wars

until Annie came

and the guided flow of fingers over hand

wrought the wonder-spell of water streaming.

Lighted by Annie’s beacon

your yearning spirit, that indefinable force

brighter than hope

began the splendid voyages of discovery,

freed at last

by the wonder spell.
