Swing Sets and Adulthood
May 12, 2017
World spins
Blue of child’s eyes
Whirlwind of innocence
Teach me to feel again
Chain links
Hold me a heartbreak away
From a fractured arm
Or leg
Mom always said to drink more milk
Teach me to learn again
Fluff of cotton cushioning
Above me spread out
Windswept
Just in case I let go
And fly
Teach me to love again
Dizzy mind
The world spins
Carefree hands gripping gravity
Teach me to live again
Heart stops
Momentum deceased
Time to grow up
Back to reality
Teach me to be young again
