Canopy Swing

One of my favorite places to be
is my bench swing with a canopy 
I swing and float in the air
Problems don't exist, they are no-where
My swing, faces the backyard and beyond
Sometimes rain puddles in the field, a pond
A train of clouds often travel the open sky
I lift my feet, while I watch them go by
The birds sing all around me 
Motion leaves me calm effortlessly
I could easily stay as time ticks by,
consumed by peace, oh my!

CayCay Jennings Date: 5/20/2025 10:58:00 AM With talent, you placed me on that swing where I took in / felt all your poems imagery. I don't want to get off the swing or the feeling to time-brush off me. CayCay Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 6/23/2025 12:54:00 PM Thank you very much CayCay :)
