"Higher, Higher!"

"Higher, higher!"

Rain pours down, a waterfall running over my cheeks, droplets catching in my hair.

"Higher, higher!"

But all that I can focus on is the elation clouding my mind.

"Higher, higher!"

The feeling of my feet swinging up through the air.

"Higher, higher!"

Soaring above the ground.

"Higher, higher!"

Believing that I can touch the sky.

"Higher, higher!"

Thinking that each time, I just have to try harder.

"Higher, higher!"

Going back and forth, resembling a pendulum.

"Higher, higher!"

Ecstasy lighting up my face.

"Higher, higher!"

Feet clad in Wellington boots.

"Higher, higher!"

Donned in a bulky rain jacket.

"Higher, higher!"

A woollen hat sliding over my eyes.

"Higher, higher!"

Mittens slipping off the metal chains by my sides.

"Higher, higher!"

Short seconds stretching into hours of perpetual enjoyment.

"Higher, higher!"

Feeling happiness in the simplicity of the moment.

"Higher, higher!"

Not caring about anything apart from slicing through the air.

"Higher, higher!"

Flying above the world, on the rusty swings in the playground around the corner.
