Cling

Cling Buds were blooming, birds were humming Hearts were zooming and babe you were coming But the music stopped, an awkward pause I couldn’t sing The level of excitement dropped, once again you felt the need to cling Hanging on to dilemmas, isolated in old regrets and past fear Need to pick shades of sienna, colors  that bring warmth and cheer Be deciding on the shape of tomorrow, where to watch the birds sing No more wasting time on that sorrow, come take my soul baby cling Hold on like plastic wrap that goes astray and you say crap that shit just cling Hold on and don’t let go even if the ugliest things in life show Hold on baby and I’ll never let go, put our voices together and sing And wrap your love around my messed up shit and baby cling We ain’t perfect and we don’t always smell sweet, but baby come rain or shine I’ll always grab your feet Baby let me hear you clear your pretty lungs and sing Fall into me mama and forevermore baby let me feel you cling   Tim Windisch 06/14/2023
