Zip across the zip wire
Flying with the wind
Feel the rush of excitement
Leave the world behind.
————
Swing up towards heaven
High up in the sky
Touch the clouds of freedom
Leave the world behind.
————
Slide down the Helter Skelter
As fast as you can go
Close your eyes as you descend
Leave the world behind.
———-
Round and round getting dizzy
Everything starts to blur
Nothing is standing still
Leave the world behind.
————
Dig deeper in the sand pit
Touch the velvet yellow crush
Wallow in its softness
Leave the world behind.
————-
Sit and soak in the sunlight
Feel God’s goodness on your face
Lose your fears and stop the stress
Leave the world behind.

Life From A Park Bench 
Leave the world behind, sounds good to me! I love being outdoors at the park … it does alleviate stress. Lovely poem 🙂
Such wonderful advice… and fun, too. I don’t think I could do the zip drive or spinny thing, though (inner ear probs), but I love to soak up the sun.
Alan, what a wonderful flow of words, I just tumbled down each stanza with a smile–love your take on soaking 🙂
smiles…very nice alan….zip lining is def fun…makes me think water park personally…love the big wave pools.. and water slides…and soaking in grace and leaving the troubles of the world behind does not sound bad either…
You and your photos!!! Enchanting ~~ as is your poetry.
There definitely are many ways that one can find to leave the world behind. My preference would NOT be for zip-lining. (LOL) Loved the last stanza especially!
Sit and soak in the sunlight
Feel God’s goodness on your face
Lose your fears and stop the stress
Leave the world behind.
That is what I need to do every day for the next month EVERY DAY .. Great WORDS
WOW!!!!!!! FELT SO FULL OF SPIRIT, JUMPING, HOPING, AFTER READING THIS, LOVELY!!!
Perhaps it’s stress, rather than the world that needs leaving behind? 🙂 The world is kind of essential for life – stress isn’t. LOL
When the kids were little we used to go to the park everyday. As you say, it was a great place to leave the world behind! I did a zip line at the Olympic Park in Canada – definitely left the world behind since all I could think to do was scream!
Lovely message specially the last verse ~ Now that spring is here, I can indeed soak in the sun ~
I could use a day in the park like this!! We must all learn how to leave the world behind every so often! Thanks for such an interesting prompt!!
