Analysis of See The Invisible
Touch the intangible
Feel the inane
Beg for the genuine and go beyond pain
Hear the inaudible
Heed the unsaid
Ask for the apposite and go beyond dread
Say the ineffable
Speak the absurd
Call for the radiance and go beyond word
Smell the inodorous
Scent the airstreams
Bid for the elation and go beyond dreams
Taste the unsavory
Eat the taboo
Sue for the suitable and go beyond cue
See the invisible
Sense the unseen
Aim for the critical and go beyond mien
