For Lula
Inspired by a note
From a passing eye
I decided to stop on by
My own spot
That has been so untouched
Because life until now
Has been so much
I
Have been thinking
I
Have been sinking
I
Have been cleaning
I
Have been naming
All of the fears
And the possibilities
All of the tears
And the near insanity
That can come creep up
When you’re taking the time
And you only feel rhythm
When you’re feeling the rhyme
And you set back
Watchin the fingers
At your tips
Never choosin
Which is that
And that is which
I feel from you
The real me is seen
And it’s so nice to know
That’s where I’ve been
There is something out here
My mind ain’t only mine
Swimmin’ in all these words
You are taking the time
Oh yes, I notice
Oh yes, I know this
And I thank you
