In The Evening Swing
Nestled in the fibers of gods pocket
bathes the light
filtered by leaves
scattered patterns
of shapes and design
woven moments etch fragile as time
the whole structure sways while my mind drifts
picking up pieces i favor
tonguing toadstools
and I wander after wonder
to the strands of silver we share
if it is wrong to be in constant question
how to better myself
have i worn attributes
enough to be one with paradise
diamonds that sparkle forever
drape from the wrist
as I watch Pomors bird take on shape
the only dream worth having
I perch myself
in the hoops of reality
whispering golden secrets
gild each line from ruby throat
to obtain what is voiced
visions of swallows nest
feather over perfect skin
as the eyes of the maker
look to penetrate deeper
swimming hypnotize brown
No waste of heart-shaped vowels
flutter without aching passion
I am pinned to this world
and the nature that surrounds it
feeling the very moment
every paper plane, every box
that says where home is
and I want to fly
no longer without
but along the shoreline
with wind-swept deliverance
gifted as those
that dance nearby branches
bathes the light
filtered by leaves
scattered patterns
of shapes and design
woven moments etch fragile as time
the whole structure sways while my mind drifts
picking up pieces i favor
tonguing toadstools
and I wander after wonder
to the strands of silver we share
if it is wrong to be in constant question
how to better myself
have i worn attributes
enough to be one with paradise
diamonds that sparkle forever
drape from the wrist
as I watch Pomors bird take on shape
the only dream worth having
I perch myself
in the hoops of reality
whispering golden secrets
gild each line from ruby throat
to obtain what is voiced
visions of swallows nest
feather over perfect skin
as the eyes of the maker
look to penetrate deeper
swimming hypnotize brown
No waste of heart-shaped vowels
flutter without aching passion
I am pinned to this world
and the nature that surrounds it
feeling the very moment
every paper plane, every box
that says where home is
and I want to fly
no longer without
but along the shoreline
with wind-swept deliverance
gifted as those
that dance nearby branches

on a porch swing you can wander among these wonders
while traveling only a few inches back&forth;
I once sat on a porch swing with a girl named Barbara
long long years ago...

My Friend,your lovely lines create a very vivid, realistic moment for your readers!
In fact, this piece brings back special memories of my childhood summers, and a neighbor's tire swing.....with the last few rays of evening sunlight filtering through the leaves....how wanting someone to push harder, so with closed eyes,i, too, felt as if i was soaring, and flying as free as the birds....
This is a scribe of such natural, sublime beauty and serenity

Hey DE again I say, tis great to have inspired peaceful memories!!! Thank You for the visit and share!!!

Gorgeous poem that captures what may be the impressions of an early summer's eve and transforms them into something visionary. And the porch swing might be the transport to dreams. But you are "pinned to this world," so you don't stray too far. Much to marvel at here!
