Swings

Nature swings between creation and destruction
leading my soul to sway, careen and question.

The mentally ill swing in and out of reality.
Some of their sane counterparts never reach it.

Every child knows the longer the rope the higher the swing.
Many adults having forgotten this lesson, cling to short
ropes, never to swing high.

The word \"swinging\" has been corrupted by oversexed couples
who swing from light to darkness.

Big Band Swing Music of the 30\'s has been replaced by 3
guitars and a drum.

The pendulum swings to tell time unless you\'re Edgar Allan Poe.

A halyard swing can be good clean fun tiptoeing on water
or a dangerous slam into the bow.

\"Sometimes I\'m up, sometimes I\'m down, but know my soul is
heavenly bound. Swing low sweet chariot.\"
