The Six Senses

Sight...as eyes embrace
                                                    A thousand words resonate
                                                 With each photograph they take
                                              Taste...seed soil ,and harvest DNA
                                            Remeberence of past flavors saturate
                             Intuition...the mind grasp hidden anger, joys and fears
                                               Touch... As gentle hands embrace
                                                    Each takes the pulse of grace
                      Smell...Scent memory is retained as distance subtles fragrance
                                          Lover's pheremones , our unburied dead
                                                         ... and war's bloodshed 
                                             Hearing...As observant ears embrace
                                  the words of joy, fear and all emotions resonate
            As age deafens , unheard , is the sound of music and children's words
                                   As death silences , the meaning of sound ends
                                                           As our first born's begins
