Child's Play

(Just a poem I wrote)

The swing set is my savior tonight
Stretching my long legs forward towards the cloudy sky
Then swinging back, I lean back looking up at the clouds
The dizzying effect makes me laugh out loud
My music is dancing along to my life, though I am still
It fills my ears, bringing this moment color and life
Powered by the small electronic device
A stronghold for so many pieces of myself
For a moment, I can believe, I am the catalyst that this world crowds around
I am the gravity, my love is the gravity
I pull myself closer deeper into myself
And I huddle there feeling somehow warm
I invite in the memories,
I hold people I care about in my head
I play with the emotions that come with them
Willing them to take flight with me
I prod playfully at all my dreams
I wear them on the surface when I swing
Then I push them out into the sky
Willing them to grow wings and fly ahead of me
I will meet them someday
Memories flush in and out, as I swing back and forth
There is a boy in my life, who is like a swing set
Taking me high, making me laugh
And I am the kid that falls, but I don’t mind
God whispers in the air that rushes through my hair
He has painted this moment for me
The secret is, all I have to do is start pumping
And I will indeed be able to fly
And this will not be hard
It’s as easy as childs play
