from.my.past

That very memory

Still remains in my heart

One beautiful swing in front

Of my yard

Nights used to pass in the thought

of sneaking out…

Days were full of prayers

That dusk doesn’t fall..

All day long, one wish

Used to overcome other, 

the ability to run over to the Swing…

 It was never attractive

In appearance

But, yes, I had a

Personal attachment towards it..

I had seen many others,

Rode several others,

But this one had some special vibes,

A special feeling I can’t define

I could never wait enough

For my turn to come…

That overwhelming joy,

That ecstasy, after sitting in..

Wow!

It goes up & I felt like

Touching the sky,

achieving everything 

I desire- I really want..

Such enthusiasm, such inspiration,

What a feeling!!

Then it descends

Slowly and steadily, 

In a similar pendulum motion

Just like life has ups & downs..

The sorrow, the bliss

*Just like LIFE!!!*

And this descend 

Giving a hope of the heights,

A heart to accept both ups & downs

with the same feeling & wide arms!!

I wonder, that rope & log of wood

taught me so much in life for years to come!!!

A most unusual poem and the imagery is wonderful You take the reader on this journey of the swing and the tree it's attached to wonderfully well.
A good poem.

It's nostalgia...

"It was never attractive
In appearance
But, yes, I had a
Personal attachment towards it.."------> There is a tinge of salt in the corner of my eyes...

Expecting a lot more from you..
