Night Climb
Coincidence happens when you’re not
paying attention
Listen
There’s nothing they’re
not going to notice
Focus
On the right here and now
speak through the last three letters
of your heart
Place your mark on this dieing day and
waste it away with me up in a madrone tree
Speak
Speak I said and say again
Speak through the last three letters of your heart
Create beautiful wastes of time
captured by your mind’s eye
then placed down with pencil or pen
Materialize it into real life
Share your lines with passers by
ramblin’ travelers
and stars in the sky
Fore the most important time to pay attention
is night
Listen
