Senses of the Dissent By Andrea Guida /Androsh
"As a boat on the water is swept away by a strong wind, even one of the senses on which the mind focuses can carry away a man's intelligence."
Each horse represents the senses whilst the chariot represents the mind.
Sight
For beauty I in truth behold, but of this cohesion I forbid to talk
The walk of trust on the stage of life untrusting eyes won't recognise
Monochromatic they denounce the rainbow
The blue of the sea to them would be an assumption
Hearing
Spontaneous words to clever ears would be just a sound of suspicious fear
The gift of yeah on friendly tongues would render impotent all plans of war
The sweet lament of summer days when furtive birds through shadows play, would echo as a threnody to those who know but lest forget
The melodic touch of countless drops departed from the heavenly flocks, to drier hearts would only mean the need for cover and worship sin
Touch
A sweet embrace, a dear caress, the warm first clinging to a mother's breast, would spark resentment in those who tire to seek The Self and reason's fire
The kiss of light from brighter beings, would find offensive those darkened minds and compassion they shall not repay in kind
From love's invite they would retract and long for sordid and carnal traps
The pleading touch of hungry hands those bloated stomachs would promptly scorn, for there is no giving while wanting more
Taste
The taste of honey and childlike joy awaiting all the ascended ones would taste like a bitter cud to those abiding within the dark
They drink with gusto from golden cups the dribbling spit of greedy and learned lips
The purity of mountain brooks and the emptiness of cleansed mouths whose divine thirst is wholly quenched would certainly taste of acrid want to those who enjoy the pricey treats carved out of lives they don't deserve or comprehend
To those who have enough to waste, hunger is not a reality; they only know what comes through taste
The lamentations of starving folk are truly unpleasant to a silver fork
Smell
To a pig who loves the smell of putrid gob a fragrant flower would stink of rot
The scent of oils and costly balms would clearly speak of cleaner hands but heinous deeds do often come from unassuming and candid hands
The freshest air on mighty peaks where rare and delicate suggestions come to the nose fleeing the boggy slopes of conventional mediocrity, would find repulsive the faceless cogs contented with the greasy stench within the valley's bowel, where the social contraption reigns supreme
For truth, I in secret behold and take delight in writing of what cannot be put in words;
I hold emptiness in my hands
I dedicate my ears to silence
I teach without words in utter aloneness
I suckle man's hatred and confusion and in return I share the ambrosia of awakening for all to drink
I follow the scent of the eternal flower so that my scent may guide out of torpor the sleeping ones, for most however I will ever be a faint impression, a fleeting glance.
