The swing waits…
Tempting luring alluring
I follow the child in me and place myself on it to swing
Clutching the chains of the here and now
My feet go back to go forward
Like an arrow that’s pulled back only to rush forth
My heart braves itself for the excitement ahead
The journey begins…seems to move between earth and eternity
The winds caressing me in my flight of ecstasy
To and fro...the swing of life moves
My heart wishes for more…searches for more
Touching the sky with my toes seems so real
But back I am
The chains my hands clutch tighten
And my toes touch the earth
As Robert Frost says
It was “good both coming and going back”
I leave the swing and walk towards the present
Searching and trying to know to where I belong
I turn around…to see the swing
Tempting luring…alluring
The swing waits
To move me between earth and eternity…! |
