Swinging
August 22, 2009
swinging--
rushing upward, breath held Captive; Scared-
then Falling, Down, Down; breath liberated, calm yet Disappointed.
try again-
up
Down
up
Down
Never swinging high enough-Never enough.
swinging harder--
legs stiff, heart racing, leaning back, deep breath held tight
No higher,
No higher,
No higher,
and yet, still swinging-
up
Down
Up
down
forgetting to Swing high enough--
Enjoying Swinging, both Up and down;
There is no Up without down.
Swinging-- you got on the swing; you tried to Fly--that is Enough.
