MESSAGE

It could be the faintest sound of an insect flying.
It could be a hazy shadow of the moon.
It could be in different size and shape.
It could constantly change form.
Reaching me from afar.
When it drops in front of me, I pick it up.
I fondle it in my hands feeling the texture.
Making something always has that feeling spreading throughout my body.
