The Five Senses

If you’re seeing,
but not putting the pieces together.
If you’re hearing,
but you’ve never really listened.
If you’re picking up a scent,
but not the right one.
If you’re tasting,
but everything’s sour.
If you’re touching,
but never truly feeling.
Then,
are you seeing the beauty in life?
The symphony of music?
The scent of a rose?
The sweetness of chocolate?
The gentleness of a baby’s skin?
Then,
are you really living?
are you really living?
