On a Swing,
Knees adrift the fingers of grass skirt
Sending flip flops to the arms of clouds

Clouds,
Iris bow, bent back to pleasure
That toes tickle afternoon shade
Making sunshine voice upon the breeze

Breeze,
Adventure to the underside of grass
Soft on skin still moist to tan
Settling in innocence

Innocence,
Ascends a woman and a man
To laugh, to love
To be

Nice piece of poetry from one who can bring
to others a smile,  a moment of calm...
and so much more.

Oops!  Can somebody help me stop the swing - or perhaps I will jump off, yes that's what I will do!  Wheeeeeee!  Landed bent-kneed and barefoot on the grass.  That was lovely!  Thanks!  This brought back a variety of very happy/bitter-sweet memories.

TD

I am thinking to a degree about your words and Hopes

For some reason I am starting to see quality words again

Others make a lot of comments, especially when you are in the Press and your next career jerk

It's good to see the words
