Colors sing;
Orchestra, Choir, Conductor, and I their awestruck audience.
Sounds sparkle;
Aural explosions the very stars would envy
Numbers dance;
Ballerinas pirouette on a stage of unblemished diamond.
Textures are storytellers;
Compositions of unparalleled beauty recited for ever and only for me.
Scents are frighteningly unstable;
One moment tingling in anticipation, the next burning with hatred.
Tastes are strange;
Color, Sound, Number, Texture, and Scent meshed and with a side of tinkling laugh.
Green is a crisp autumn day, ripe and ready for the harvest.
Three has a certain mystery about him, tall dark and handsome.
As comical as it may sound, Two is a fish; a fish with pleasantly squishy eyes….
Forever may mean bumps one day, and river stones the next-
It depends on what Blue has to say.
If Gray and 67 met, there would be trouble, but Violet could be the sister of 12.
This is the world I live in; a world that I can't share with many others.
It's called a "disorder" but in reality- a reality with singing Colors, storytelling Textures, and Pleasantly Squishy Fish, it is a gift.
Without this beautifully imagined imagery, my reality would be emptier than a book without words.
My reality would be… real.
And where's the beauty in that?
Author notes
Sorry if it's not up to par. I'm not very good at planning things out, and I tend to ramble.
