Do you hear?
The tension in the air
Like a violin string
Stretched too taut.
Do you feel?
The whisper of the trees
Breathing all around
Expounding their many secrets.
Do you taste?
The many colors of water
Wrapping around you
Smothering your senses.
Do you see?
The acrid rain
Falling, falling, falling
Into your lifted face.
Do you smell?
The tasteless,
Soundless,
Blinding,
Intangible,
Mass.
And yet it covers all senses.
Confusing,
Suffocating,
Agonizing,
Lifeless.
