Trickling up my spine

Trickling up my spine Time for buds and blossoms to sprout, sheathings drop, and beautiful colors pop out It’s a wonderful time to be alive yeah it feels so wonderful to go outside walking about Still the crazy fears cloud my sunshine, obfuscate the landscape I thought was looking fine Despite the glow and warmth from up above, there’s a bad feeling trickling up my spine Highways crowded, orange barrels dot the horizon, mind wanders somewhere I can’t keep my eyes on Keys on the table, feet up TV on, despite the sitcom with canned laughter the lonely man cries on Sees the memories of the days they were flyin’; multi-colored kites adorn the sky what a sick design Though it looks serene, smiles across our faces, still there’s something trickling up my spine Every time it seems the last corner’s been turned, the bridge we need to get back home has burned Damn babe but don’t it seem the harder we try to get it going right, the more we get spurned Tired of what they’re selling us, time we quit buyin’, stand up and take control, we’re all done cryin’ Need you here right by my side, baby snuggle up close and let me feel you trickling up my spine Trickling up my spine Wouldn’t that be fine Trickling up my spine Tim Windisch 04/11/2023
