Pain Is Palpable

Do your eyes not see words in beautiful darkness?
Does your mind not weave woe into wondrous melody?
Does your mouth not taste the strength of song?
Do your ears not hear the glamour of grief?
Do your hands not touch tricking tears as you tremble?
Does your nose not smell the salted, settled eyes?
Pain is palpable, beauty indescribable.
