On Nature and Senses
Glenn R. Ricaforte
Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.
Hans Christian Andersen

You can see…
the prismatic hues of rainbow
the crimson of roses
the green of thicket
the blue of ocean
and yet, you can see
the murky water of river… what a shame!
You can hear…
the singing of nightingale
the buzzing of bee
the growling of tiger
the rattling of snake
and yet, you can hear
the weeping of an orphaned eaglet… what a shame!
You can taste….
the sweetness of honey
the sourness of vinaigrette
the saltiness of sea grapes
the bitterness of arugula
and yet, you can taste
the putrefying venison… what a shame!
You can smell
the flowery fragrance of garden
the fresh scent of newly scythed grassland
the enigmatic odor of durian
the strong aroma of Arabica beans
and yet, you can smell
the stench of decomposition in a dying river… what a shame!
You can feel
the chill of winter
the crispness of spring
the warm of summer
the dreariness of fall
and yet, you can feel
the unexplainable environmental ambiance... what a shame!
of winter and flower …
of spring and grass…
of summer and ocean…
of fall and leaves…
of river and fish…
of honey and bee…
of humanity and all…
Endless possibilities….
Senses are forever be free…
and so is NATURE!
