Symphony of the Senses

An Ode to the Quintet of Perception

By Tyler RowePublished 3 years ago 1 min read

In the realm where senses five reside, Each tells a tale, a world of its own wide. Sound, sight, touch, taste, and scent, Each a vital emissary, by Nature's grace, sent.

Ears lend themselves to the whispers of wind, In every rhythm, a secret they find. A lullaby from leaves that quiver, In the symphony of life, they are a giver.

Eyes dance with the spectacle of light, In the day's gold and the velvet of the night. They paint in our minds, both sun and moon, Witness to life’s endless, shifting tune.

Touch, the language without any word, In the softness of silk, the flight of a bird. A lover's caress, the warmth of a friend, In the braille of existence, messages they send.

Taste, the savoring of life's diverse flavor, In sweetness found and bitterness to savor. A ripe fruit’s blush, the sting of a spice, Each morsel a roll in life's great dice.

Scent, the ghostly presence in the air, In the rose's blush, the pine's solemn prayer. A memory’s key, a forgotten past, In its subtle notes, sentiments are cast.

These five senses, in unison, compose The symphony of existence, in highs and lows. An orchestra, each player a crucial part, In the grand concert of life, each plays its start.

An unseen conductor, our consciousness, leads, Through the music of senses, life proceeds. In every note, in every pause, The world within and without it draws.

So let us toast to these senses five, For it's through them, we truly thrive. May we cherish each in equal measure, For they are life's most precious treasure.
