    A Child's Dream

    Swing here, swing there

    To and fro

    Hold on tight altogether

    We’re taking off bro?

     

    Hold here, hold there

    To and fro

    Here we go again together

    Sure we do

     

    Bye bye here, bye bye there

    Up up and away we go

    Hold your breath deeply dear

    Into a sky a blue

     

    Sing here, sing there

    All officers and crew

    Breakdances on air

    Loud and clear do

     

    White tail there, red wings here

    Soars me up anew

    Strange string adhere

    On my chest I knew

     

    Skimble-skamble

    A white thread aglow

    Angst and invincible

    Alone and blue

     

    Someone below

    Pulls me down    

    No bird nor corvine flew

    But swift kite at dawn

     

    I smiled satisfied

    Wanted I back on air

    But mummified

    Minatory and dare

     

    Awake, away I go!

    Fly high into the sky!

    Awake, away I go!

    Fly high ‘til I die!

    Yes what a dream thought. This could come true for anyone who puts their mind to the puzzling words, that dance across the page.

    thank you very much indeed, learivan. My heart swells with pride.

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
