When I settle down to write
I was granted with joy,
Playing the word's like a toy,
To perceive the contemplation in me,
And set my hands so free,
"The time"
When the thoughts in my mind,
Hit my hands so kind,
As it makes a line of its own,
Which generates a cute little drone,
"Yeah the time"
When I settle down to write.
