Sound is a gift a special sense
That allows us to connect to feel immense
We can experience the world around
Just by listening to the sound
The laughter of a child so pure and bright
The waves crashing onto the shore at night
Birds chirping at the crack of dawn
A gentle breeze ruffling leaves in the early morn
The sound of music that stirs the heart
Feeding the soul that’s been torn apart
Whi...
Colours melt and molde,
Into something to uphold.
Bursts of yellow, shining bright,
Swaths of blue, dark as night.
Patterns of purple, swaying happily along,
Strokes of orange, repeating danger’s thrilling song.
Dots of red, for every misfortune shed,
Drops of black, dreams that ended up dead.
Splatters of green, showing the forest’s size,
Puddles of pink, the heart is the prize.
Colours arch acro...
Touch and feel the water on your skin
Feel it cascade over your body like a great big slippery paw massaging your entire being
Release your worries and entrust your life to the humble bubble of this great body of water as each droplet soothes your skin
Close your eyes and let your body sink deeper and deeper into the bottomless pit of this refreshing substance
Forget yourself as the water open...
The clouds are capturing the light,
The garden that surrounds me is green and vibrant,
The cars parked are covered by little droplets of rain,
The ground is clean, but worn.
The lights are dim, but noticeable.
My clothes feel fitted onto my body.
My hair is tightly pulled back out of my face.
My bracelets are slightly too tight on my wrist.
My socks are on perfectly, just how I need them.
I can ...
Feeling the flowers reach
From my lungs to my throat
I realize my time is up
My eyes squint
At the blinding sun
As its rays peek through the trees
The boy I love runs to my side
His cries of desperation echoing in my ears
Cradling my limp body in his arms
A rose reaches out of my throat
And blooms from my lips
Its thorns prickling my tongue
Death stands over me, waiting
And I close my eyes...
Faint, like that of a butterflies wings
as it sucks nectar from a flower.
Thrumming of electrical wires
running energy and power throughout the house.
The noises of living life are all around.
In the chirp of cicadas at night
and the robust hum of garbage trucks in the morning.
If you let the external sounds drop off,
you will hear the resonance of yourself.
The beating of your heart.
The AC kic...
Flowers in a meadow
bring sweet perfumes to the air.
Just as chocolate does to a dinner party
and antiseptic to an operating room.
A certain smell will take you back to when you were young
But never able to express it to another.
Wishing you could bottle it
Preserve the memory.
Keeping it fresh in your mind
as a time machine to your past.
Laying next to your sleeping dog, take a whiff.
Coffee br...
From the sensitive tips of fingers and toes
To the inner arm and under knees.
Touch is love
is comfort and vulnerability.
You are sensing the world around you
In this very moment
your body recognizes the pressure at your back
as a hand of a loved one,
and the hairs on the back of your neck stand up
as a thrilling chill rushes through you.
Nerve endings always processing
while you go about your d...
Thoughts of food boggle the mind
And make the mouth watery for it.
Just a taste. A crumb, perhaps.
Sour, sweet, bitter, salty, savory
The apex of worlds colliding together
in the kitchen to build an experience
that transcends the tastebud’s ability to perform.
Creams and crusts take you across the world
along with tender juices from meats of all regions.
Without having to travel,
You are able to...
