Baby Thoughts

Baby Thoughts Hugs are babies’ first official language Followed by triangles, circles, with assorted symbols Infants pay special attention to white pillows and quilts Sleep is always on their minds Flowing over yellow ribbons of light and energy Babies contemplate squares and rectangles lifted from the fog They think about animals as fury toys and perceive them thusly Images come slowly and they focus on shiny things They feel their tiny fingers and toes to stay in touch Letters and numbers are foreign to them now Yet they understand some things about them in their world Pink and white dreams of billowy clouds bounce by They think to take this ride a lot Streams of life with limited visibility color in the blurs Shapes of things to come take form in these meanderings They know two mountains warm with riches wait for them Breasts filled with vitamins and milk They cling to these mounds for nourishment They rest their heads and think goo goo gaa gaa It is the foundation of a doctoral dissertation later in life While mothers voice flows over them like thick warm honey Babies think of deeper sleep
