The sound of water says what I think.
I babble like the babbling brook,
Usually disturbing the peace
When silence would be more appropriate.
Chastisement makes me giggle
Like the gurgling of a shallow creek over stones.
I’m quiet.
I spend much time reflecting.
Still waters run deep…
My thoughts flow and meander from one to the next,
The end of one sliding seamlessly into the beginning of the next
On a continuous journey,
Only ebbing when sleep overtakes me.
Provoke me to anger and I will crash and roar
Like powerful waves battering into jagged rocks,
Spitting foam.
I will roil and rail against the world,
The salt water spilling like a waterfall from my eyes
Until the crisis is over and I slowly recede to calm one more,
Spent.
I can drip sarcasm.
I spill over with joy.
I freeze solid when hurt.
I am always half-full, never half-empty.
The sound of water says what I think.
