there are some things you have to write
like the way the trees are painted your favorite colors
and the wind whispers you a poem
and the sea matches the rhythm of your breathingthere are some things you have to write
like the way the city lights spell out your name
and traffic harmonizes with your soul
and skyscrapers feed you crystalline invincibilitythere are some things you have to write
like the way thunder is your rock band
and lightning sets a fire under your feet
and raindrops wash away your impuritiesand there are some things you have to write
