On a Swing

I'd like to glide through sparkle dust
on a swing of golden threads
I'd go up to touch my toes against
a rainbows' magic crest
With my head against an angels' breast
that we'd fall to earth again is just

I'd watch as daylight spreads before
my world to make a glow of golden lair
A joyous birth of dawns' new day
then darkness swoops to block the sight
And wishes float to stars sweet light
How could I ever ask for more?

Your words are the words of an angel, my friend; i feel they were whispered to you as you slumbered.

I hope a smile on your face too. I find it so much harder to write about the good feelings and also to tap into my inner childhood delights.

Thank you Maureen...I'd written it about a month ago and just refound it I'm happy to say. I'm glad you liked it. Jeanne
