A Message

His words left his mouth. 

And rode against the walls,

like beams of light, straddling and clinging the cold wood of the room

Trying to run as fast as they could away from him.

The stale air penetrated the door, and his words found their exit.

They soared across mountains,

passing through skin and bone

the words ebb with wind

and flow with cloud

and slowly mold themselves into

melodies, then symphonies

agreements, then arguments.

The gleam from a sleepy sun, gave the words something amazing

They gave them texture, they gave it breath.And now a simple three words had become

everything that mattered

They became a being.

hurting, then healing

whenever it chose.

And he never would have guessed

 that love would travel that far.
