The noise of the chord less strings could be heard round the house, David had found an old guitar at the dumpster of the music store and asked if he could keep it. It was his dream to play the instrument like his uncle who had died the previous year. The sound of the guitar trickled throughout the entire building, enough to make the neighbors complain but young David could care less, all he wanted was to learn how to play the instrument.

David's passion for music was all-consuming. He spent hours each day practicing, perfecting his skills and learning new songs. He was determined to become a musician, to share his love of music with the world and to make a name for himself in the music industry just like his uncle dreamed.

This dream was cut short after he had and accident that impaired his vision, he was involved in a car accident that caused him to lose his sight. Young David was heart broken, he had just gotten the hang of the instrument but he was sure not having his vision would stop him from continuing his dream.

For weeks, David laid in his bed, lost in a darkness he could not escape. He refused to pick up his guitar, convinced that without his sight, he could not create the music he loved. His family and friends tried to reassure him, telling him that he could still make music, but David's mind was set, nothing could convince him.

One day while laying on his bed, his finger struck a string on the guitar by accident causing him to pick it up. As he struck another string, ta ray of red light passed through the darkness he saw. He struck another string and the same ray passed again but this time with another could, David was thrilled, he struck a full chord and the darkness disappeared to reveal what seemed like a smoky rainbow, this made him excited, striking different chords continuously formed a pattern in his mind.

With time, David discovered that music had the power to transport him beyond the boundaries of his blindness. He earned to "see" the world through the notes and rhythms of his songs. The music became his eyes, allowing him to experience the beauty of the world in a new and profound way.

David's music was unlike anything anyone had ever heard before. It was infused with a depth and emotion that came from the struggles he had overcome. People were moved by his songs and the story of the blind boy who had found a way to make music. Word of his talent spread quickly, and soon he was being invited to perform at local events and even recorded an album of original songs. He also started to teach music to other blind children, helping them to discover the same joy and freedom that he had found through his music.

David's music brought hope and inspiration to many people. He showed that even the darkest of circumstances can be overcome with the power of creativity and the human spirit. Tim's story touched the hearts of many and his music continues to be loved and listened to by people of all ages and abilities, who find comfort and inspiration in his songs.

David may have lost his sight, but he gained something even more valuable, the ability to truly see the world through the beauty of music.

There are many ways to see and feel the world, David found a way to come back from the darkness he was plunged into after the accident, the most beautiful thing is that it was through his passion which is music.

It's a very beautiful story, I can't imagine losing my vision but I know it's something that happens to many and it's good that this subject can be treated with the beauty of writing.

This is beautifully written and inspiring. There are many ways of seeing and many ways to be blind. Losing his eyesight made David blind in one way, but music gave him the power to see in another. You describe the discovery of his new ability well. You create for the reader a scene that is believable, although it is extraordinary.

Such a beautiful, uplifting story deserves a careful proofreading. While most of this reads extremely well, there are a few spots where the quality of the piece suffers because of minor errors. In the first (wonderful) sentence, for example, did you mean chordless, or cordless? Also, in that same sentence there should be a period rather than a comma here: The noise of the chord less strings could be heard round the house. David had found an old guitar at the dumpster of the music store and asked if he could keep it.

The sentence is powerful. We draw these minor errors to your attention because the story is so good.

Thank you very much for sharing this most original, well-written story with us. We appreciate that you engage with other authors in the community.
