What's the word babe

What’s the wordWhat’s the word how are you babe? Can you hear me call yournameAre you listening, are you sitting up; how long until youlight my flameWhere’s the lantern to light the path, I’m worried you’lllose your way in the darkIt’s long past time we fired the torch to march into ourunknown, where’s the sparkNow you need to push the envelope, take yourself out of parkbabe put it in driveJoin me for the best ride of our lives, and for the firsttime our together can come aliveWhat’s the word how are you babe? I hope everything is goingas we plannedStrong enough with a clear head, freed from the weight andfinally able to standStriking a wooden match across the rough days, a smirk tothe faded painLighting the lamp that can never go dim, nor be extinguishedin a driving rainIt pulls you along at a quickening pace, raising all sortsof warnings and alarmsA cacophony of maddening distractions that will vanishinstantly in my armsWhat’s the word how are you babe….I hope to hold you soonTim Windisch11/13/2025
