Swing

Three young kids sit on the double swing In nearby woods nightingale will sing As kids swing on the swing They talk about everything They talk about adventures in distant places Light of joy lights up on their faces To the south tropical beaches To the north cold breezes The animals like polar bear in frozen tundra Mongolian death worm in distant Asia Wolves chasing caribou following the alpha Komodo dragon, ropen from New Guinea, and Indian king cobra View from the swing is far towards north, south, east and west Each of brothers will have his own quest The swing is place where they will rest As they will expand their families crest The swing reaches far to the air to great expanse The vastness of that expanse Makes children’s young souls with joy dance It is like a dream a romance But as fresh air reaches the lungs the vision inside it will turn to transcendence The vision of to universe counterbalance The spirit that will begin as one writing universe laws and end in brilliance Equal radiance at the end from base and planetary destiny absolute eminence In worlds most distant waters children want to swim But for now let them dream Swing so small so large to a child will seem They will remember the wonder years when one day they realize their dream
