Dawn

How I hope I'll leave this world...

swinging legs

high above the grass bathed in dew

sun giving birth to a new morning

trees stay silent

and all my other friends do the same

pressing sweaty palms together

fog floating and hiding my steps

i throw away my watch and earrings

mother don't you dare scream or cry

for this is my path

as this is your path

and everyone else's path as well

thus i melt in sun's welcoming hands

I liked your opening line. It brought to mind being on a swing as a child, which I actually believe was the last time I was on a swing! Oh, what a feeling it was...

"high above the grass bathed in dew".

Yeah, it's been a loooong time since I've been on a swing. Though I was pretty scared when my father would push me really high.

Thank you a lot, Kelly!

My pleasure!
