Explorative play
Peaks the imagination
The playground of life
Life is a playground
Up the tall ladders we climb
Only to slide down
Swinging to new heights
A push by playground buddy
Adventures to come
The merry-go-round
Slows its incessant spinning
Solo traveler

I love how your words capture the ebb and flow of life’s contrasts—climbing the ladders of ambition only to slide back down, yet always swinging higher, propelled by both solitude and companionship. It’s a beautiful, cyclical dance between motion and stillness.
