Slip Away


By Lina



sitting on my swing seat 
perched high up in the air 
nothing seems too difficult 
nor too hard to bear 
It must be the back & forth motion 
possibly the wind through my hair 
it soothes and caresses 
I no longer have a care.
and it helps my mind to wander to regions unexplored in this state of tranquil I've opened up a door so wide that I'm enveloped with everyone I know & love so many reasons to be thankful so many wounds still ignored the healing that I search for to problems I deny exist my swinging calms my innerself into a peaceful bliss.
