My Better Self

My better self still knows

That meaning comes and goes

What is it made?

I do not know

But meaning comes and it goes

Each and every portent

Of bitter substance spent

Despite the effort I have planned

You seem to lose what I've meant

If I don't use words

Then each sound goes unheard

Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs

Symbols suggest they are fit to possess

A purposely function

That cannot be met

Those who created know

Air is in man and blow

Only the value given shows

That meaning comes and goes

My better self still knows

That meaning comes and goes

What is it made?

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 possess

A purposely function

That cannot be met

If I don't use words

Then each sound goes unheard

Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs

But symbols suggest they are fit to possess

A purposely function

That cannot be met

My better self still knows

That meaning comes and goes

What is it made?

I do not know

But meaning comes and goes
