A empty swing to carry me above the problems,
safety gate to keep away the ghosts  in my head.
Higher and higher, a birds journey.
A place to preserve the freedom,
dreams to cling on to on the monkey bars.
The children's happiness lingers here,
clearing my thoughts for now.
I want this taste of lightness to
extend on infinitely.
This is a poem I wrote after I visited the playground of a elementary school I used to go to in my town. It was the most perfect over cast day and I just felt like writing about its perfection! x3 Please tell me what you think!
