Baby Talk

With complicated ease speaking begins
Holophrastic images flow wordless
Into a vibrant pattern of single meaning
Touch, feel, hear, listen, and absorb the world
Observe the dance of gaiety
Resulting from simple verbs connected
To accidental adjectives and relationships unhung
In minds that only comprehend praise
Attached to faces that are the world
Familiar utterances guide passing thoughts
Voice inflections rule fluttering sounds.

Who hath heard the shy voice of new thinking?
Felt the burgeoning pleasure of meaning
At last conveyed successfully beyond sight
To attain the gift of being understood
Babbling transitions blended tones of clarity
Words ripe to be picked from lips unstuttered
Explanations and reasoning unlimited
Minds unlocked
Confusion unwrapped
And curiosity peaked, reaching up
Answers exposed, reactions unmonitored.

Subtly shifting speech, grammar felt not learned
Perceive the sounds, vibrations not limited
To vocal chords but reaching out into a path
Lexical collections grazing thoughts not tutored
Phonemes and allophones patterned unistiquely
Shared satisfaction in maturing understatement
Of letters and sounds meaning truth, yet
Capable of lies once sufficient production
Grapples with phrases tied to thoughts
Once caught beneath veiled language
Knowledge restricted by unknown rules of vagrant conceptions.
