BABBLE
I sit quietly and watch the
Light
Refracted
it is
what
I
think
sound waves
must look like
It becomes
a gentle
Rothko
moving as I float
in the warm water
having
the Space
all to myself
the arched wooden ceilings
seem both
like a Nordic Cathedral
and
a Shinto Shrine
All
at Once
Neither of which I’ve ever been to
but
like the sound waves
I imagine what they look like
and in my deepest being
I
Know
what I feel is
True
and
Right
And from that
Knowing
a made up
Babbling
Lullaby
Bubbles up
out of me
and for no other
Reasons
I sing it out loud
Repeating the refrain
Over and Over
Again
Simply
Because
I Can
Simply
Because
I Am
