Imagine
Imagine sight…
Rainbows stretching across the rain freshened sky
The sparkle of in the eyes of your lover
Sunset over the ocean in the west as the orange ball is dipped into the deep
Darkness of moonless night without hope of morning
Stumbling for the words of description of life without light
Imagine hearing…
Birds singing on a spring morning calling out for a mate
The voices of the children playing in the park
Subtle tones of a symphony by Beethoven or Bach
Loneliness of the piercing quiet
Volumeless mouths moving then smiling
Imagine smell…
The odor of cookies baking during the Christmas holidays at my grandma's
Forsythia blooming in the early spring promising hope of the summer
Crisp air at the oceans edge assaulting my nose at daybreak
Breath empty of all but the functionality of air itself
Slightest moments of pleasure lost as my nose becomes stale
Imagine taste…
The exquisite flavors of oriental foods sliding across my mouth
The tickle of my tongue by the champagne of this life
Lips of that special someone
Bland nutrition without any excitement, without any color
Pointlessness of sugary treats
Image touch…
Sensual pleasures of flesh on flesh in times of passion
Feet being grounded on the earth as my balance is sure
Warmth of a firm handshake of a friend
Orientation lost within this universe of senses
Isolation from my own bodies movements and sensations
