Fumbling through the darkness
I can no longer see the light
I know the sun is there
Though it's rays are hidden from sight

Pictures and sunsets I have no use for
Brilliant colors are all now gone
Within this world
Darkness is my home

Ears and fingertips are all I have
Remembering scenes from another time
Faces, places, colors
Now drawn from my mind

My memory is strong
Within it I still see
More importantly
I am still me

Really good and I agree that the last line makes a strong though poignant ending.
