Run Away To The Circus

with 8 comments

Circus

When I was young I swung on the swing
dreaming of
being a great circus performer
a snake charmer
a mysterious side show performer.
Now I am older I dream of
swinging on swings
dreaming.

  4. Swinging on swings dreaming I like that. Now I know what it is my back yard is missing…a swing.

    I love the picture.

  6. The nostalgic ache for when we had more time to sit and swing and dream … we can still find it, but not as easily…

  7. I also love the picture…and this makes me want to search out a swing to swing on NOW. I can’t remember the last time I was on one.
