Hearing Purple - v3

a tableau alive, shot before me

overwhelming my senses;

triggering my brain

awash in Morning

hearing Purple

synapses firing;

my auditory cortex

shouting in praise

joy in Sunrise

warming of Morning;

awash with colors

rich to my tongue

not just seeing, an image only,

that is far too limiting;

tasting Dawn and

hearing Purple

“Tasting the morning”

http://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2013/01/tasting-morning.html

series of poems based on

segment on how babies,

when they are wearing a brain cap,

to do EEG measurements, don’t always

have the visual cortex light up

when they see something but sometimes

have the auditory cortex light up,

as if they are hearing the image, the colors.

at about 6:15 minutes to about 8:45  minutes
