Senses
By KellyG on Oct 27, 2007 in Poetry
Everything you feel, touch,, smell, see, taste has its own energy, its own life. When you deny this fact, the energy will find a way to make its presence known, acknowledge or?
The wood your coffee table is made from, was once alive, it stood proud in a forest
It was a home for families, essential nourishment for some, security for others
The glass that your windshield is made of was once alive, it surfed on a seashore
Unwavering at its task to give life, and nourishment, and a sanctuary to living beings
The clothing you wear is made of cotton, it played and teased the open field,
bathed in the sun, drank in the rain, offered life, wealth, and vitality to the loved
We share this world with so many that we refuse to acknowledge, and yet their energy is ever-present, undeniable to some, unexplainable to others, allusive to few
Most everyone will recognize the energy of living things; people, animals, nature
Some will recognize the energy of a house, room, vehicle, toys, inanimate objects
Few will recognize the energy of a color, a shadow, a light, a temperature,
Most will sense the slow, creeping energy of fear, violence, hatred, anger and betrayal
Many know the dread of sensing the energy of anger, hate, violence, and frustration
Some are able to sense the more subtle energies of a kiss, a smile, a tear, or a blink
A few go through life barely acknowledging the sense of energy in the world around, most have the luxury of turning their sensory preceptors on and off but I…
I am part of a group that is larger than those that cannot sense or feel and much smaller than those w/ the ability to control the energy around by tuning it in or out
I and those like me are tuning forks for the world, I feel with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns. Pain, fear, grief, and heartbreak awakes energy that sears my heart inflames my soul, and pierces every one of my senses. I vibrate from others joy.
My heart soars unimaginable heights when I witness kindness, generosity, compassion
Everything you feel, touch,, smell, see, taste has its own energy, its own life. When you deny this fact, the energy will find a way to make itself known, to be acknowledged.
