Original Language

I look into my daughters eyes
and I can see that she is thinking.
I can tell she is downloading information
and the cognition is processing.
But in what way is she doing it?
What is the written language of a mind?
What is the sound of thought
when she thinks about the world?
How does it sound in her minds voice?
Does the mind have a voice before the body does?
Cuz now,
as an adult,
the voice I hear in my head is not unlike the voice I speak.
The language I use is that of my speech
but there was a time when I thought beyond words
at least before them
when I imagined outside language.
We do a lot of work to end that ability
for all the power we give speech
it surely stifling pure imagination
I must funnel my thought through this tiny aperture
I must conform my mind to the trivialities of language
and for what?
to validate my life,
to check my thoughts,
to seek and spread truth,
were I to learn all language
alive and dead
I would still be desperately shy of a way to describe
the thoughts as they originally manifest in  mind.
