is this, or is this beauty?

they’re part of the life in which we be 

the 5 basic human sensory

 

we may come to know and depend on them well

the beauty of touch, taste, sight, hear and smell 

 

our life may be blessed with senses 5, 

while lives with less, still fight to survive

 

from birth, and life experiences, the senses, our gauge, 

they define the beauty, the intolerance, the fear, the rage 

 

pleasant, pleasing, pleasure, and pleased 

beauty defines its way, through senses each 

 

the beauty of one’s touch, a caring kindness

sensory beauty, you ‘see’ behind this

 

the taste that’s beauty, you beg for more

the scent of beauty triggers memories more

 

those sounds, so pure, so rich in flight

5 sentries at the gate of life…

 

…now that is real beauty…
