SENSES

Hear

Leaves rustling in the wind

      As the sounds change

      Moment by moment

Sensations from the Gods reaffirming their presence

A reminder of their power

See

Clouds making shapes in the sky

      Morphing from mushrooms into dogs

      Then from dogs into seahorses

Sensations from the Gods reaffirming their presence

A reminder of their power

Smell

The air after a good rain

     Scents of cleanliness

     Sweet smells of new blossoms

Sensations from the Gods reaffirming their presence

A reminder of their power

Touch

Cool water rushing through fingers or toes

      In a river or waterfall

      As if it has an urgency to be someplace else

Sensations from the Gods reaffirming their presence

A reminder of their power

Taste

Wild berries freshly picked

      Eating by the handfuls

      Refreshingly sweet and juicy

Sensations from the Gods reaffirming their presence

A reminder of their power

To hear, see, smell, touch, and taste you

Being held and feeling safe, beautiful and loved

     Our connection could only
     Be made by the Heavens

Sensations from the Gods reaffirming their presence

A reminder of their power

This one I wrote after I began a search for unity with the universe.  It came to me after a beautiful period of meditation, and to me, it speaks with a lot of power.
