Perception

What if you were mute? You would not be able to shout, or even whisper. And if you were blind, your sight would you find absent. If you were deaf? What if music could never bring you joy again? What if you could never lay eyes upon your beautiful children? Or hear their laughter? Or tell them "I love you!" What if you could not feel the intimate touch of your love? If you could not even smell the sweet scent they leave behind in the sheets, and in their clothes... Or the empty taste they leave lingering on your lips after a warm, embracing kiss, only compelling you to lust for more?
