Beyond Words

Take me to that place beyond words

Where unsaid whispers are captured in a glance

In the still waters of a lake

All I see are your eyes staring back at me

Orbs of the softest velvet

Happiness brighter than the stars in the galaxy

Further than Orion’s Belt

Where not a single human touch is necessary

As you fill that place within me…beyond words
