Babbling Brook

I'm just a babbling brook

drowning in my own thoughts

just take a look

at what it costs



My thoughts are deeper than the ocean

My thoughts are higher than the sky

Need to know the reason why then

I am just barely getting by



Depth of thought

Height of sensation

Width unknown



There is no reason or rhyme

It's just a matter of time



Babble on babble on Babylon

babbling brook

just one look

was all it took

to get me shook

Hey Ruth,
Just wanted to comment on your thoughts about being a waterfall...cuz I LOVE waterfalls...I was lucky enough to see Niagara Falls in Girl Scouts ages ago....they are magnificent and beautiful and a friend at work just came back from Starved Rock State Park in IL and I told him to be sure to take the path where you can actually go underneath a waterfall in a cave that I did way too long ago and need to get back there someday someway anyways, so cool... and he did...it is awesome...I love waterfalls so that makes sense to me...maybe I need to do a poem about waterfalls someday...since I tend to write about emotional stuff and things I feel strongly about..I loved your thoughts on that...remind me to write a Waterfall poem incase I forget...Thanks,Pam

you can not be a babling brook if your thoughts are deeper then ocean higher then sky you are a great water fall!Consider a brook is shallow an ocean is deep and there is force behind a waterfall like there is force or calling if you will behind the writers of words!
