An idle brain is a devil’s workshop; but is it really? I would say, an idle brain is a budding industry; firing your thoughts, swirling and mixing them like a potion in a bubbling cauldron.
The world is defined by our senses; sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. Oh! The sensations they cause, setting our nerve endings on fire with electricity.
What if two senses could merge? Would it give birth to a better feeling? The feeling of nirvana?
“What if colors had sounds?”
The world, so colorful and bright, ready to overwhelm our senses. The red in the beautiful sunset sky; rings your ears in a high pitched sound; soothing yet exciting like that of the E string on the violin.
The yellow hue of the canary; fills you with happiness as you sit back in a paroxysm of joy, the beautiful jumpy rhythm of drums and the strum of guitars.
The bright blue sky, harbinger of thoughtfulness with the sound that relaxes your nerves like the contemporary rhythms and blues.
The pink of childish playfulness; gives the sensation of a happy child’s laughter, rising your spirits up to the heavens.
The white of the floating clouds, to wipe your fears away like the monotone of a flute.
But wait, all these will not sound like themselves if it weren’t for the one color that counteracts them. Alas, they are feelings, but what makes them joyous is the blackness of space; like something waiting to be painted, waiting for someone to fill the silence with the song of colors. The majestic color black, signifies silence and the hopeful wait; patiently trying not to drift away into utter, dejected darkness.
