My better self still knows

That meaning comes and goes

What is innate I do not know

But meaning comes and it goes.

Each and every attempt

A bit of substance spent

Despite the effort I have lent

You seem to lose what I meant.

If I don't use words then each sound goes unheard

Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs

But symbols suggest they are fit to posses

A purpose and function that cannot be met.

Those who create it know

There is an ebb and flow

Of neither value given shows

That meaning comes and goes.

My better self still knows

That meaning comes and goes

What is innate I do not know

But meaning comes and it goes.

If I don't use words then each sound goes unheard

Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs

But symbols suggest they are fit to posses

A purpose and function that cannot be met.

My better self still knows

But meaning comes and it goes.
