Flying byA Poem by Roberta WethAnother old piece being revamped with a fresh eye.
I pull myself into the air
I Let it flow over me Dragging my hair behind Fall back to go again Suspended by plastic and chains Swing set memories almost gone Soon to be replaced, Back and forth Same motion as before In innocent playground fun Orange sunset light Just begins to highlight the trees And color the air in the churchyard Slow down, to land His hands reach out And pull me near To his eyes Arms draw me close I lean forward And close my eyes This world disappears for a moment, As I meet his lips So maybe swing sets aren't innocent Anymore © 2011 Roberta Weth |
