SENSES
Hearing, seeing, feeling, smelling and tasting
These five senses
Are by design
Fences
By design
They confine and blind
Us, and occupy
Our mind
Occupy
With blinders in place
Keep the horse in the barn – at all costs
Far from the open plain
Where s/he would run wild and free
Without a care
Everywhere
Driven by senses
Of the outside
Wild
Free
Without a care
Everywhere
Hearing the silence
Seeing the shadows
Feeling
New
And reborn
Smelling the colorful explosion
Of a new morn
Tasting
Love
But
Wait!
Hear me
Come back!
Look at yourself
Please
How do you feel?
In response
I glance down in submission
At the stained and faded tile at my feet
I taste
The back of my throat
Dry
And sore
So sorry
It must have been a dream
Both
I fear
Light Blue
Sense filled
Pleasantness
Emptiness
They know I am present
And are pleased
As am I
With the being
One with
All
Knowing
Love
Knowing
Now
That is all
In this light blue emptiness
Standing alone
Without a trace, without a shadow
Understanding finally
The finality
Of my truths
