Crinkled Leaves

Like rediscovering an old book

Freshly fluent in the language of your mind

It reads, as you 

Tune in to its frequency


Somebody said they regretted

Not learning a foreign language

And I found myself smiling

At opportunities lying in wait


The book is a translation

Of a language quickly fading

From your memory, yet

Echoes of it animate your dreams


You'll probably never recover

Knowledge previously gained

But there's variety to savour

No two syllables the same


The richness of your interiority

Only multiplies anew

With every fresh, new day

You make a better you
