Little tendrils

Little tendrils of the heart

Curling out and groping,

Seeking little things to hold,

Wiggling and hoping.

Little tendrils of the soul

Delicate and perky,

Seeking little surfaces

Peculiar and quirky.

Little tendrils, little tendrils,

innocent and plucky,

I pray that you are careful

And I hope that you are lucky.
