Late tonight, and I’m listening to my ‘Sia’ music playlist
Pondering my life’s forever twists
Eating, bananas, strawberries and ice-cream
Here beside my bed, covered in poetry dreams
Tullawalla booklets, full of memories and rhymes
I’m not going to cease, writing this time
I heard her singing, “keep writing for me”
“let everyone know, how life should be”
“remain the lover of our trees”
“nurture your flowers for the bees”
“continue swimming in your favourite sea”
“keep your imagination free, for yourself and me”
Yeah, no matter what
I’m not going to stop
While my sky is still up top
I’ve more to write before I finally drop
