Synesthesia
Your thoughts
Roll in as waves
Your feelings
Follow these waves
Rendering me
Utterly helpless
There is no beginning
No end
Here
Even the word “Here”
Is incorrect
“There?”
Wrong as well
“Nowhere?”
Maybe
“Everywhere?”
Yes
We listen to these trial words
As we roam around the grounds
That surround
The house without walls
We ourselves are surrounded
By the building blocks of our world
The building blocks of our lives
Numbers
Each and every one
Carrying color and weight
All its own
Days, weeks, years, you…me
Numbers
Colors
Each color
Each and every one
Triggering a feeling
Feelings
Then of course
Responses…actions
Then
Reactions
Somewhere…nowhere
Everywhere
Those misplaced words again
My Gawd the words!
Land like rocks in the pond
Look at the waves
Here, I will try three at once
“I love you”
We watch multiple waves
Heading off in multiple directions
Actions
Then reactions
Quietly,
I will throw again
Please…
You better stand back a bit,
“I love you
Sleep well…dream well,
Love…
My love,
Goodnight.”
Your smile can be heard,
Then only waves
Of silence
Stillness
As we lie and watch
Colorful numbers…feelings
Drifting lightly
Peacefully
Far above the dark beautiful night
