deeper than words

like chapters in a book,
the passage of time being captured one word at a time.
transcending the feelings through actions.
vulnerability providing the strength needed
to explore the unknown,
mental house cleaning.
facts shattering delusions
as the mind plays chess,
pondering the next move.
irrelevant
the black and white
so long you navigate the gray,
always moving.
what was once hidden,
now no more.
