Inspired

You inspire me Yet there's no words that I can write because none can describe you You are beyond words When I feel I am close I fall short For you are forever evolving so my words must evolve too Making my words just out of reach Exciting me without touching me Thrilling me more than any other Leaving me... inspired.... 1st place Contest:180 words Sponsor:Caren Krutsinger
