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
