the senses

we are too grounded
bound by the senses
as if there are only
the ones we speak of
as if the universe
framed by just five
hearing, sight, smell,
taste and touch

these only the beginning
bounds of imagination
stumbling in the dark
needing to quest for light
more still out there
beyond that horizon
wonder, beauty, peace
a sense of God’s presence,
of wonder, of magic
an awareness of the unseen
beyond our pedestrian dreams

part of a series of poems,
based on the idea that there are several other senses
besides the sense of Taste, Touch, Hearing, Sight, Smell –
including the sense of Wonder, Beauty, Peace, God’s Presence,
and even the sense of Magic
