Senses

Like ribbons of sound waves

That echo in your mind

Vibrations of noise resonate with me

Sight is a beautiful display of colors and shapes

Do you see the color red as I do?

I’ll never know if you see the tone as I do

I am aware of many textures around me

From the lumpy dirt to the soft sand

Or the sun on my skin or the cool snow

I smell the goodness around me

Roses and warm apple pie

They excite the receptors

I can taste the ice cream cones

As I get to the tasty chocolate end of the cone

These senses are unique and serve a purpose
