She closed her eyes <br />and swept away, <br />she moved her legs to a steady rhythm <br />her pace slowly increasing <br />She swung back and forth <br />wind in her hair, <br />She smiled and laughed as she slipped from reality <br />cleansing her mind of any troubles, any thoughts. <br />She let everything go. <br />Her legs kept the rhythm of her beating heart. <br />Her heart that felt so light <br />As she swung away from reality <br />higher and higher, farther and farther. <br />She swung away on her swingset. <br />The swingset that held her tight.<br /><br />Cat Ducat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-swingset/
