Beyond words

I don't sleep well at all. There is something that keeps me awake at night, keeps haunting me when

I don't watch closely. I am watching the moon, trying to find some meaning, trying

to figure out what lays beyond all of these words. Words that are whispered in the dark of 

the night, words that end up as a line of sepia ink on creamy paper. Words that are 

listened to in some beautiful song, telling a story of a forty six year old.

Words that are being remembered from years ago, friends whispering little secrets that

would be kept forever. Words read over and over in an old love letter, no matter how 

alive they were then, they are still bound to fade one day. Words that tell of a saturday night

with a girl who danced the night away, never to be seen again. Words that were 

meant to hurt and will do so no matter what. Words that tell of fun times 

at the beach, sitting with your sweetheart, sitting around a fire and

listening to the soft whispers of the ocean. Words that will never

be remembered beyond the ocean. Words that are reserved

for just the two of you, words that give you a 

glimpse of hope and shelter. Some words are like songs and some are

like a knife, knowing that the bad ones will never be forgotten and the good 

ones will grow and grow. Some will stay with me forever, so deep,

so soft, so sincere and so true. Beyond.
