I'm a Swinger |

I’m a Swinger And swing upon this life’s trapeze Doing summersaults in flight with ease And though I land upon my feet I feel the summersault not complete Some how I feel the turn I do Is not correct the yearn I view And turning in the broader sense Does not fulfill the recompense There is this flight within the air That lacks the wings to keep it there And always lands me with a thud That rises up a mess of mud This turns the daylight into night With only stars to feed me light And I am caught within a veil That slack the sails I haul in sail And time has no concern for you When counting down the time you do |

this reminds me of when my friends and I would go swinging either in the rain or after it, just so we could jump off the swings into the mud puddles... my mom was so mad but it was so fun! |

I like this so much, my friend! *S* With your words, I feel the rush of air against my face... and those few moments of flight that are over far too soon... Beautiful! |
