Our senses

" We are so attuned to our senses,

That we can't think of a life without them" 

With our eyes, we paint the world,

in the colors of our perceptions,

learning as we grow, face obstacles,

create a better path through corrections. 

With our ears, we listen to the sounds,

that's generated from various sources,

the symphony of melodies of the life,

providing assurances to our heart. 

Our humble nose, letting us smell,

helping us appreciate the fragrance, 

enticing us with delightful aromas,

or warning us from potential dangers.

Even the most dependable tongue,

let us experience, savor flavors,

providing stimulus to our mind,

to create or relish different cuisines. 

But the most important are our skin...

Helping us acquainted to the surroundings, 

applied pressure, coarse and fine touches,

scanning temperatures, warm or cold,

giving out signals though our nerves.

Each of these senses are significant, 

to complete us, with their exposures, 

even a small change in their working,

make us feel deficient or being broken. 

So, have we ever wondered... 

What does it feel like,

to be devoid of senses,

either be unaware of its presence, 

or lost the blessings in the process.

Imagine, with closed eyes, ears plugged,

with no stimulus to tongue or nose,

in a vacuum, where our skin can't even touch... 

Would we still be us ?
