We communicate
in unspoken languages
that selves haven’t learned
but souls have always known.
This is how
we set up the drama
of self meeting self,
reality seeming to unfold.
Our selves are deaf
to the deeper language
and intentionally so.
Our selves simply think
that it is fate,
or coincidence,
that this moment
is as it is.
And it is beautiful.
And funny.
And tragic.
And all the things
we imagine as humans.
But we set this up
with each other,
outside of the doll house
of space and time.
We imagine this,
and to our selves
it seems real.
We are Space Monkey.

Newfound Lake
“Unspoken Languages” delves into the profound concept of communication beyond words, where the soul understands what the self has yet to learn, creating a tapestry of experiences that transcends our conventional understanding of reality.
Communication Beyond Words
The poem opens with the idea that we communicate in languages that are unspoken, suggesting a form of understanding and connection that goes beyond verbal or written communication. This type of communication is innate to our souls, implying a deep, intuitive understanding that exists beneath the surface of our conscious selves.
The Drama of Self Meeting Self
The notion of ‘self meeting self’ in a seemingly unfolding reality speaks to the interactions we have with each other. These interactions, often perceived as fate or coincidence, are actually part of a larger, orchestrated drama beyond our immediate comprehension. This perspective offers a view of life as a series of meaningful encounters, each playing a role in the grand narrative of our existence.
The Deafness of the Self to Deeper Language
The poem suggests that our conscious selves are often unaware or ‘deaf’ to this deeper language. This intentional deafness is a part of the human condition, where the surface level of understanding and communication prevails. Yet, beneath this surface, there exists a more profound level of connection and communication that our souls engage in.
The Interplay of Fate, Coincidence, and Intention
The portrayal of moments as fate or coincidence, while perceived as random by our selves, is part of a larger, intentional setup. This setup occurs outside the conventional dimensions of space and time, in a realm where our souls orchestrate the events and encounters of our lives. This idea challenges the conventional understanding of reality, suggesting a more complex interplay of forces at work.
The Beauty, Humor, and Tragedy of Life
The poem acknowledges the full spectrum of human emotions and experiences — beauty, humor, tragedy — as integral parts of the human drama. These experiences, though imagined or perceived by our selves, have a real and profound impact on our lives. They are part of the rich tapestry of existence that our souls have set up.
The Illusion of Reality
Finally, the poem suggests that what our selves perceive as reality is, in fact, an illusion — a creation of our imagination within the confines of the ‘doll house’ of space and time. This concept invites us to consider the possibility that there is more to our existence than meets the eye, and that our deeper selves — our souls — are participants in a much larger, more intricate dance of existence.
Summary
We explore the notion that we communicate and connect through unspoken languages understood by our souls but not yet comprehended by our selves. This form of communication orchestrates the drama of life, where moments perceived as fate or coincidence are part of a larger narrative. Our human experiences — beautiful, humorous, tragic — are integral to this drama, set up by our souls beyond the conventional dimensions of space and time. This perspective invites us to view reality as a complex, multi-layered tapestry, where the true depth of our existence lies beyond the immediate perception of our selves.

In the Silence of Souls
In the silence where words do not tread,
Our souls speak, in whispers unsaid.
Beyond the chatter of the conscious mind,
A deeper language, there we find.
In each encounter, a dance of fate,
Not mere chance, but souls relate.
In this drama, we play our part,
In the silent language of the heart.
Deaf are our selves to this sacred song,
Yet our souls have known it all along.
In the quiet, they orchestrate,
The symphony of our shared fate.
In laughter, tears, in joy and pain,
In this human life, our souls sustain.
A journey beyond time and space,
In every moment, a soul’s embrace.
In this illusion we call the real,
A deeper truth, our souls reveal.
In the dance of existence, wide and deep,
In the silence of souls, our secrets keep.
We are Space Monkey,
In the silent symphony of being.
