Just in case you’ve forgotten
there are still
a thousand pretty nights
still ahead of you.
Take a real chance
the little steps
have been laid out
and are waiting for you.
Don’t worry,
about the sideways glances
learn to shift your focus,
eyes are all but gone,
it’ll be too bright
to truly see anyone.
Listen for the quiet footfalls
sneaking up from behind
you’re squared and center
ready to surrender
to whatever drug
that plays inside.
Yesterday is good and gone
no more second guessing,
sure, we can look back
without ever meaning to answer.
This is temptation’s template
undressed in front of everyone.
I can’t help but stare
hands are sinking
fully grabbing hold
of the open sky.
Set on a steady surface now
it’s easy to understand
the effect this change is having
it’s near impossible to move.
Accept time in here
as a blessed gift
simply listen to the words
skipping in the background.
Each tiny whim or desire
has a place all its own.
The garden sits waiting
for the royal inspection
for the moment you kneel
the onlookers gasp in denial,
not understanding this world.
Trust and knowledge,
are the jumping off points
give yourself this chance,
because tomorrow,
The Garden lesson
is coming.
