gently swinging back and forth
just close your eyes and the motion
takes on a journey
to places friendly and safe
to anywhere you want to be
places familiar and places distant
in this time and sometime
dreaming of what has been
and what could be
swing some more and
control the pace
gentle motion to contemplate
the current nature of things
or swing to the extremes
and sample the sensations
swing from the mountains
to the oceans and all in between
it is your choice when to move
and when to return to the porch
