Uncommon Tongue

Accents are hard

The R’s never end

And the understanding

Never begins.

So thick as to be spread

On the barrier between,

More mortar for the wall.

But when she spoke to me

In an uncommon tongue,

In the dialect of my soul

It was all over for me.

You were destined to invade

To lay claim to my heart

Shocking me into perfect communion

With wonder dripping from your lips.

– Vagabond Prophet
