Everything waits to be noticed
A tree falls with no one there

The full potential of a love affair
Everything waits to be noticed


Twenty-eight geese in sudden flight
The last star on the edge of the night
A single button come undone

The middle child, the prodigal son
Everything waits to be noticed
A trickle underneath a dam

The missing line from the telegram
Everything waits to be noticed


The whispering pains that say you're living
The slow burn of not forgiving
The quiet room, the unlikely pair

The full potential of a love affair

Everything waits to be noticed


Longing for braver days
Cautiously turning a phrase

Going unnoticed

But everything waits to be noticed

The changing light in the upper air
The full potential of a love affair
Everything waits to be noticed.
