The Five Sense - Poem by Joseph Pede

The Five Senses

Believe not what in what you see
Close your eyes wide open and examine the reality of that which cannot be seen

The voice of sound is deceitful and its message transformed by interference
A just ear will decipher the reason of each word and the resonance of its sound

Taste stimulates the tongue but not what it orchestrates
It lays attached within a hollow chasm transforming food for thought

What you can touch with your flesh proves that you are here
What you feel around but cannot grasp proves that you are

The oxygen of life attaches itself to the aroma of all things natural and unnatural
What one exhales forever changes the fragrance of that next breathe.

Thank you,
Joseph Pede
