Sense

Of course there are five senses.
But some rely on one more heavily than the rest.
For me, it is the sense of sight.
Senses seem to work together sometimes and sometimes not.
Sight is sometimes detached from the rest.
Sometimes sight goes into a state of rest.
It's not that I go blind, but the world becomes a blur.
Then the other senses take over.
I hear, feel, smell and taste more acutely.
When the world is a blur, thoughts also blur.
The world outside no longer communicates with me through images.
Ah, the peace of not having images thrown in my face.
Sometimes both hearing and sight shut down.
That is real peace!

And sometimes all the senses need to be
extinguished. Just sometimes.
