To the eyes that see
Vibrant scenes
That surround the space
Around us.
The eyes that see
Creation
Born brilliantly
Around us.
The eyes that see
Life
Taking on challenges
Around us.
The eyes that see
Our loved ones.
Their smiles,
The way they dress,
Their personalities.
The eyes that witness
The road before us,
The path behind us.
The eyes that witness
Humanity at its best,
Humanity at its worst,
& humanity finding its way.
To the nose that smells
The fresh
Ocean’s breeze.
The nose that smells
The tantalizing
Blossoms of Mother Earth.
The nose that smells
The enticing
Delicacies of nutrition.
The nose that breathes in
Life
Every second of the day.
The nose that breathes in
Scents unfathomable,
Scents addicting,
& scents comforting.
To the ears that hear
Birds sing
Throughout the day.
The ears that hear
Little ones
Laugh that light
Up the whole room.
The ears that hear
A beating heart.
The ears that listen to
Wails of
Frustration, pain, anger & despair;
Cheers of
Comfort, happiness, excitement &
Love.
The ears that listen to
Cries
Of silence.
The ears that listen to
Screaming booms,
Sweet melodies,
& serene winds.
To the mouth that savors
Appetizing cuisines.
The mouth that
Bites, chews,
& swallows
The food we intake
To keep us alive.
The mouth that
Smiles,
Frowns,
& Laughs.
The mouth that
Vocalizes
Expressions of
Thoughts &
Emotions,
Allowing the mind
& heart to
Heal.
The mouth that
Runs faster than the
Mind & spews
Random &
Limited filters.
The mouth that
Can hurt others,
Can empower others,
& can enlighten others.
To the skin that feels
All that we touch.
The skin that melts from
The warm hugs of
Loved ones.
The skin that endures
Cuts & bruises.
The skin that absorbs
Blazing heat from the
Bright sun,
Crispy cold from the
Cloudy skies,
Cozy comfort from the
Thick blankets.
The skin that tingles
From happiness
& home.
The skin that marks
The ground beneath our feet,
& the wind caressing
Our body.
The skin that protects
My physical being.
The skin that celebrates
Every shade,
Every weight,
& every size.
The skin that glows
Beautifully –
Moles,
Freckles,
Birthmarks.
The skin that embodies
Uniqueness –
Pimples,
Blemishes,
Physique.
The skin that appreciates
Indulgence,
Acceptance,
& love.
To sight,
To smell,
To hear,
To taste,
To touch,
You all matter.
& I am eternally grateful for having all of you.
