writing keeps ideas in space  
speech lets them travel in time  
we use paintings to decorate space  
and music to decorate time
⠀ ⠀ 
⠀ ⠀ 
find the way by moonlight  
see the dawn before  
the rest of the world  
⠀ ⠀ 
⠀ ⠀ 
unconscious time, no peace of mind,  
falling in space but still alive.  
sketching the future in a single line,  
everything's spinning, cannot sit down.  
moments in space, places in time,  
thoughts penciled in, now come to life.

⠀ ⠀ 
As of today, no one knows how to translate paintings, flowers or music into language. Their beauty is implicit and exclusive to their form, which is why it's so hard to explain how a particular piece of art makes us feel.
