Sway

remember this moment,

the moment you are swaying.

The swing does feels better

when it sways,

soaring into crisp air of autumn.

Magic is in there, they say.

A vignette of effervescent thing of life

is caught in the requiem of the fall sunset.

Your words stirred something in my chest,

in spite of all my effort against it;

so I loosened my coat,

and walked further into the woods.
