In this vast expanse, the world, I find a hidden key
That in itself unlocks to me a sort of mystery.
A code which only some have cracked and some have yet to find
A way to convey meaning from mind to other mind.
This code is still unraveling, so much I have to learn
As I, with avid passion, day by day skill earn.
How can I explain the way it gratifies
As one by one the locks which bar, open before my eyes.
Each day I’m one step closer into my other world,
How much I strive with longing for it fully unfurled!
Oh how as I draw nearer I’m filled with such delight
Avidity renewed with each new sound and sight.
So many travel with me, some near and some still far
And those within help me unlock my world, each bar by bar.
Some are born into this world, given that key at youth.
Others like myself have journeyed far to find that truth.
What is this key I’ve spoken of, this world that I’ve addressed,
The journey I have taken on which I’ve tried my best?
What is this thing I’ve striven for, consuming every thought?
A second language. Fluency. A foreign tongue I’ve sought.
