His words were a liquid symphony of one thousand lost languages, finding their way on a Road To Awe.
Nobody understood it like he did, and no one ever would. His words were special, they were full of distant meaning and hope for a brighter future that may never come. His phrases were broken and drunken, scattered across the world where the naked eye could not see. But if you took a moment to lose yourself, forget for a moment who you were, then you could see the speech that only he understood.
Through the jumbled invisible text, there you could find the Road To Awe.

This was a wonderful little piece. It just seemed to flow from word to word so easily and ended beautifully.
I enjoyed how it told it’s own little story and I’m interested to know whether this was written about someone in particular or whether this person is someone of your own creation? -

A little bit of both, actually. I have friends who can move me just by saying a couple of words, and they are mixed in here also. But mostly it's a fictional person.

wow, that was awesome! it felt so elusive and mysterious and yet so truthful and poignant. not that it really matters, but its 'lose', not 'loose'. good luck in the contest, this is a really great write!
