Umlaut

(Poetry Scales 22)

What is the inherent meaning contained in a sound?
Not a just sentence, or a word, but a syllable
How do we lay them aside once they have been found?
To explore another pathway still cognitional?

The ways we share ideas, the systems abound.
Are those means mere happy chance, growing traditional?
Or are the laws that govern languages more profound;
Are all our tongues coded primordially inextricable?
