You’ve looked with your eyes yet you can’t see, <br />You’ve smelt with your nose yet you can’t perceive; <br />You’ve listened with your ears yet you can’t hear, <br />You’ve touched with your hands but still can’t feel; <br />You’ve tasted yet can’t tell what’s on your tongue, <br />And you’re confused; you’ve exhausted all you’ve got; <br />Why not try the sixth sense – faith, <br />Now that your five senses have all failed? <br />So you’ll learn to listen with your heart, <br />Until you can hear the jingles of the morning star; <br />So you can start seeing beyond your eyes, <br />Until you reach for and touch the skies; <br />Then you’ll know there’s more to a sound than meets the ear, <br />And tell why you’ve never seen your brain but know it’s there; <br />Then you’ll know there’s more to life than this damn world, <br />And understand why science cannot really explain it all.<br /><br />Stewart Gideon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-the-five-senses-fail/
