When I was a kid
I would rush to the playground
Rush to be the first one there
So I could get first choice at the swings.
I miss those days.
I miss that feeling of freedom
Of leaning so far back
I could have fallen
But I relish the sight
Of the sky
Flipped upside down
And I felt
Limitless.
Clouds
Scurrying over a sea
Of blue.
And in those moments
I swear
I could have flown
Leapt
Out of that plastic seat
And touched the sky.
Never having to come back down.
