Senses

Open your eyes.

Sit back and find a new perspective.

Everything is moving so quickly,

yet you don’t hear a sound.

Open your ears.

Sit back and examine the present.

Everything is changing around you,

yet you don’t feel a thing.

Open your hands.

Sit back and imagine the future.

Everything will soon be different,

yet you can’t taste a victory.

Open your mouth.

Sit back and savor the flavors.

Everything is coming to senses,

yet you can’t smell the roses.

Open your nose.

Sit back and admire the beauty.

Everything is in color and alive,

yet you can’t see a thing.
