The Swing
April 26, 2012
Swinging in a tree so high,
with breezes in my hair.
Oh, what a lovely way to die,
drifting without a care.
A plank is stretched beyond the sand,
I teeter, then I fall.
The salty sea against my hands,
the waves begin to call.
Swimming on a day so sweet,
floating through the sea.
Gentle waves lap over my feet,
what's become of me?
The blazing sun begins to set,
but I don't want to go.
Should I have used a safety net?
Perhaps I'll never know.
