In a language we've forgot
there are words we can't recall,
which might help explain alot,
or some part, however small.

But, the truth is, it does not,
for the most part, we pretend,
adding layer upon layer
to this means without an end.

Where we search outside the lines,
hoping once to "get it right",
something flickers then, is gone,
would we could attain its' light.

When the language we've forgot
and the words we can't recall
leave behind the slightest trace
they were ever here at all

Doc...so true!  I like the traces of humor in this and the way you play with words.

Reminded me of my forgetful mind actually, and heck I laugh that off, and know it couldn't have mattered much.

Enjoyed the humor of a serious topic actually.

geez, Dr., I forgot was I was going to say here.....it was right on the tip of my tongue....lol.  Seriously, this poem can be interpreted a couple of ways and maybe, there is a much more serious tone to it, huh?  Anyway, I liked it very much.   ....jo
