Interchange.
Strange the interchange taking place
in human sensations.
The sound of rain on flat sea,
distant thunder, or small insect noises
transform into sight down in the ear.
The smell of fresh odours
appear as taste to the back of a nose.
Perceiving dampness on skin, fragility
of petals or the touch
of soft velvet is sensed too as hearing.
The presence of silence exudes a scent
which turns into feeling.
Yes who we are is more than translated
alchemy of reflected senses
shown in the sum of each sensual trait.
Our Being's tower is lit by spirit guided
by divinity and cradled in sacredness.
We a mixture of clay and angel own vast
powers not yet discovered
under skin endowed with secrets galore.
May we ever treat gently the heaven held
in our wondrous vessel.

- Comment from author about the poem: Seeing the image pictured above led to a bit of research and my pen to word a few strange facts which we may overlook - - human enrichment is more than a brain-scan can show.

this gift you have crafted so fine and made available today must surely rank amongst my personal Fay've's dear lady and poet ....
... absolutely amazing and true ... x
Dear Nev. - - Thanking you greatly for your comment on Interchange and for listing it with your faves - - so pleased you agree we have built-in secrets and that we are all so "wonderfully made"................x
Good Midweek FAY - Angela Here - Thanks for sharing some precious TRUTHS!
"As Humans - created in GODs Likeness
We have this Treasure in Earthern Vessels"
Paul The Apostle who wrote The Epistles
Our five basic Senses of Sight - Sound - Scent - Savour
& Sensuality are Divine Treasures afforded in part or whole
to each Human Being together with the abilities of Speech
& Script. These attributes make us SPECIAL *Angels not Apes*
Your elegant ODE reminds us that ONE SENSE triggers ANOTHER
making the Whole Person infinitly greater than *Sum of the Parts*
INDEED *Human enrichment far exceeds a Brain Scan !*
Thanks for Caring & Sharing
Blessings & Joy & Peace
Love A & B & Smokey 🧡💙🤎
Thank you for reading and high-lighting some of the important parts of Interchange for we as humans are so wonderfully made - - huggles and love to you both and to Smokey.
Good write Fay.
Aww, they took a pic of my brain - only three brain cellls in it! lol.
So glad you thought the write good for reading dear Orchi and thank you for dropping by.
Amazing isn't it that we are such wonderful creatures and sophisticated beyond our own knowledge yet we can be so callously indifferent to our equally sophisticated, wonderful fellow homo sapiens.
Yes within the sophistication you poetically explore here there lurks the raging beast, the plundering rapist the cunning serial killer.
Your work always leads me into thoughts around your chosen subject, no less today. Perhaps the dark side of me is showing or maybe it's mankind's guilt oozing out - so sophisticated yet so savage.
Yes to your closing line.... but if only we could.
Your thoughtful comments make a poem in themselves my dear friend and this is a fine example of how much thought with which you honour my writing - many thanks D.A. for your welcome visit and perceptive review of Interchange.
Intriguing words Fay, the senses can define so much of our life and transfer so much into different senses within our brain.

brilliantly pro humanity, inspiring wonder in the mechanics of our very existence and a subtle nudge, reminding us to not take it for granted
