The 5 senses: Sight, Smell, Hearing, Taste and Touch
From watching the fluffy clouds swaying against the clear blue sky
And the witnessing of the reunion of two lovers at the train station
To the sight of the car and the lorry colliding.
And the glimpse of the beggar with his extended arms and wrinkled face.
From the aroma of the cumin seeds sizzling in the hot oil in the pan
And the fresh scent of the lavender soaps methodically displayed in the local artisanal shop
To the whiff of an odour that carries you back to the clogged drains.
And the suffocating stench of sweat from field workers under the scorching sun.
From the chirping of the flock of birds on a crisp morning
And the chuckles of a toddler swinging high in the air for the first time
To the roar of the tyrant.
And the sound of the panicked cry of the crowd as danger approaches.
From the fresh minty feeling lingering breath after brushing your teeth
And the nourishing and warm soup you sip as you are wrapped in a blanket
To the sour feeling on your palate as you witness a horror.
And the metallic feeling of blood and soil grains in your mouth as you fall to the ground.
From the soothing stroke on the head from your grandfather
And the kneading of the bread dough that will feed your family
To the sharp pain that zips through you as the boiling water spills on your fingers.
And the countless passengers clumping together on the tube during the rush hour.
