Expression

In the beauty of being
I find that the water flows more fluidly
as if to babble
more discreetly
maybe simply being bashful
about babbling

and I, sitting quietly
in a rippling sea of gibberish
close my book
and leave it to float away
and I watch the words wash soundlessly
off the constraint of the page
and into the rush of the rapids
as if finally giving the waves
something to say
