Spinning

Inspired by the song 'Spinning Away' by Sugar Ray, I wrote a poem about repeat trips to favourite places. 

Spinning

Spinning away

Up to the clouds, from 

Down on the ground. 

Whizz ing around, arms out like a whirligig, 

A beech nut. 

Spinning, spilling over, 

Spinning out of control

And over the edge, 

Faster and faster

Away from the bubble 

You just want to float back to. 

So many second thoughts

Every second. 

So many ways to dampen 

Expectations 

How could it possibly compare to last time? 

Spinning

Here and there

Done under,

Up over

Round and round 

Till I'm dizzy 

Till I need to rest.
