Blurring Lexicon

aspirated voices

echoing throughout the cavern

pleadingly quiet

impossible to hear words

an unattainable plea

 

there's static

overcoming the silence

perpetual noise and clatter

the quiet is deafening

 

this tongue of yours

always speaking,

too much garbling

this tongue I hear

rhyming, intoning

all it is

is nonsense

 

clamorous sounds

constant words

abundant languages

infinite meanings

 

listen

 

we try to hear

linking sensation,

experience and comprehension

but all we sense is confusion

 

speak

 

**a dialect of ages

lost in the folds of time**

 

all it is, is vibration
