Language barrier
April 11, 2017
I see the words but you hear the song
And I wish I could sing so that you’d understand
My paper and pen have no melody
They mumble a tune with no key
Once I could sing, once I could fly
Once I could leap ‘cross the blue of the sea
It seemed so easy to ride the great wind
Open my lungs, breathe it in
When air grows still and daylight fades
I slip off my shoes for to walk on my knees
The deep night exhales the faintest of tunes
I follow the sound and the moon
With twenty-six letters I’ll paint you a picture
With some colors foreign and some that you know
My broken lines may make little sense to you
Yet your heart nods in time with the view.
