Impersonal

The sun, the moon, the stars, the universe,
the wind, the rain, the sky, the clouds,
the tree, the flower,

Every feeling that is put into words
Every thought that is put into words
Every memory, association, perception that is put into words
Is an attempt to point at something which is beyond words

What is love
What is tenderness
