if life was a tire swingi would turn round
& round & round
i would stare up at the sky
gnats & butterflies
dancing in my eyes
the sun would come
& play in my hair
the sun would go
shadows would follow
and still i would linger
pondering the meaning
of life & love
marveling
at the wonder of it all
*
if life was a tire swing
i would be the girl
dreaming of true love
i would be the sigh
escaping from her lips
her wildest imagination
the yearning in her heart
i would be the oxygen in her lungs
the breeze through the leaves
whispering "breathe"
i would be the tree
the grass growing at her feet
the ants working down below
i would be her wiggling toes
& the sun kissing her face
& the dress tickling her legs
i would be the rope & the knot
each individual strand
i would be the air
*
if life was a tire swing
i'd be
everything
