swinging back...

how did i get here?
why did it comes to this?
i was bathing in saffron
i was running through bliss

and now i pause
stop
freeze
wait

hold on

how did i get here?
this chill hard place
i don't like my reflection
must re-spackle the face

smile
move
talk
laugh

my heart cries a-foul
as i crank and reel
edging my way back
to how i would feel
when the air was warm
and the snow was bright
when the kitty was soft
when i welcomed the night

to hear crickets and waterfalls
to hear drum beats and hearts
to see glorious beauty
to see rainbows of light

but now i toss
turn
pull
push

sitting on my swing
back and forth, to and fro
while the wind swishes past me
close my eyes as i go
is it worse that i can't see?
when i go very fast
have to stop getting dizzy
nothing left but the the past
