Ladybug of June

Hang me out to dry

It's only a matter of moments

It's only a matter of concern

We change more frequently than the moon changes phase

Always struggling to keep up

To hold on just a bit more tightly

I am larger and I am stronger

Faster and maybe even smarter

But you darling know that you keep all of the power in your back pocket 

Your eyes tell me that it's for safekeeping 

And I believe them

All of the momentum

All of the force

I only ask that when you finally pull me from the water and hang me out to dry

Bring with you a cool breeze that is well acquainted with warm hands and your trademark soft smile

I find this poem very interesting.
The first verse "Hang me out to dry" captured my attention. The first thing that came to my mind when I read it was the song from Cold War Kids, which I like a lot ^_^

I really like these verses too:
"We change more frequently than the moon changes phase
Always struggling to keep up
To hold on just a bit more tightly"

It is so true, we change so much, trying to keep up with the flow of life. Holding on to so many things, sometimes even holding on too tightly to things we shouldn't.

Its good. I like it. :)

It kinda reminded me of Sloth, when you give them a bath and hang them out to dry.
