Should I say there is mystery
too deep for mere words
that only silences forever answers?

What word shall hold sorrow sitting
at the heart of things we have left
to patience and truth?

What voice speaks to moonlight,
bathes an ordinary wall
washed white in an empty room?

What speaks an older tongue
in languages yet discovered
to beg a life to stay?

So wonderfully expressed, Julian!  This is fantastic work...I truly enjoyed this!

to be with you...
I've tried to hide my passion,
but it's just no use...
piece by piece I lose it
when you walk in the room...

Sven: You are so correct. The mysteries of life, love, death etc. simply have no earthly answers that are absolute.

Julian....this was a most intriguing and mysteriously beautiful message....indeed, life and death have voices of their own...and the language that they speak is interpreted in so many different ways.
Awesome write!
Hugs to you!!!!!!!!!  dawn
