Sixth Sense

Five senses link us to the world, that’s what we’ve all been taught. But each of them extends to fill each corner of our thought. Sight gives you the chance to see the wonders all around. But have you ever ‘seen’ the truth of things that are profound. Sound will let you hear the noise our ears were made this way. But have you ever ‘listened’ to your conscience have its say. Touch allows us all to feel the textures of all things. But did you ever ‘feel’ true love, this feeling really sings. Taste lets us enjoy our food or quickly spit it out. But surely we’ve a ‘taste’ for art and music, there’s no doubt. Smell the temptress of them all can lead you where to go. But if you ever ‘smell’ a rat, your instinct tells you so. So the senses that we’re born with that we’re using every day, form partnerships within our thoughts to help us on our way. But the sense that’s most important and the one we have to find, is the Sixth Sense we develop in the regions of our mind. Ivor G Davies
