Suspended from eternity
Maybe in the hands of God
Gentle sways rock me to sleep
It's still playtime
So I swing harder
Of my own accord
Till I reach the skies
Only that the skies are dark
Ready to burst
Filled with more darkness
I close my eyes
Embracing it
I am forced to look within
My heart is split
Between murderous rage
And an eternal compassion
The swing has stopped
Raindrops lashing against my being
Cleansing me, my heart
Rage melts and I see the light
A ray of sunshine
Piercing the dark cloud
I want to swing again
Reach out to the ray
Hold it in my hands
Store it in my heart
The swing feels heavy
Unable to move
I cry out in despair
I need the ray
Sobbing into my hands
I slump to the ground
For what seems like forever
Drifting away inside my own mind
I awaken
The rain has stopped
My eyes widen in surprise
In my palms, there lies
A cupful of hope.
