Language

 Language


Language is not just a way of saying things 

Words are a way of being. 

A different way of seeing

To cease being strange in a foreign land. 


Often we discover in a corner

Hidden traits in our makeup 

A foreign person lurking there

Just waiting to wake up and speak.   


Another me, another you

Our neighbors never knew

And so in traveling abroad 

We embrace a different view. 


There is no feeling we cannot copy

There is no sound that doesn’t echo

We are one cosmic tribe 

Sharing links for one million years. 


Moving forward with de Chardin

In a cosmic arc of grace 

Many words and many nations

Arching in the sweep of heaven.
