Senses

Eye of love

that watches over me,

keep me far from

the toxic way of hate.

 

Ear of patience

that listens to me,

help me to understand

in the echoing still reflection.

 

Tongue of passion

that brings me joy,

let me taste and still hunger

for all the flavours of life.

 

Nose of discernment

that helps me sense the good,

be my guide in this world

of ambiguity and fake ways.

 

Skin of connection

that brings me tender to the other,

woo me closer to all the beings

that are precious in my life.
