Song of Ambiguity


A song of myself is one with no tune. It has no rhyme or reason, Nor rhythm or meaning. It cannot be heard by the naked ear, Sometimes it cannot even be heard by its creator. Sometimes my song gets lost. Sometimes it isn't mine at all. Sometimes I drown it out with thoughts. But always the tune remains in my head, Though it has no sound, Though it often changes, Though sometimes it's not a song at all.

Love the tribute to Whitman's Song of Myself. Your words speak to the unforgiving transformations we all go through. The length of the poem also acts as a really effective way of this "unknowing" of oneself. Really nice poem. Please add more!
