a tree falls

a tree falls

A Poem by knightcall

so many times I’ve wondered
i can't seem to get the clues
can my past life show me the way or
should i stay invisible
i've lost my voice
no one can hear me in this world
i get the ignition of transmission
i try to make it clear and a transparency 
no one hears it all
i need some time
time to tinker with the sound
trapped in my solitary mind
you got me spinning and looking twice
i need to know
if the message is getting through
can’t you see the light's coming through warming my fever
i put all the letters
where they're easy to understand
i'm sure that i don't know
can you match me on what i'm saying
i'm as unique as what i'm creating
a tsunami of what i've transposed
vertical lines become funnels
can anyone comprehend after understanding
does anyone at all hear me
the words take a higher inflection 
before lowering down to guttural 
tsunami take me higher
i've got to write this down
which poem to show
i've lost the key
if the poem is written in a forest
does anyone hear it
