Please give me your eyes
And sway to my song
The one only we can hear
Have the wand now, and
Orchestrate
So you will feel the way I do

Nowhere is there a void by
Open skies that liberate
Trees that give shelter and shade
However, in the smallest spaces
Inkblots and film negatives
No need to paint their words
Given in the stillness of its silence.

So I missed a few days
Kind of fell behind
In keeping up
Pattern? No.

No one needs to know
I”m invisible, ok?
Never seen or heard
Just remembered
A thing of the past
