The Merry Go Round

The lights all burning into the night,

The velvet blanket of darkness covering the sky,

The screams of joy, the screams of fear,

The laughter, the chatter, all of which I hear,

Games people are winning,

The merry go round just keeps on spinning,

The clowns all smile, menacing and delirious,

The crowds all watch, all of them curious,

The children eager, the parents wary,

The rides, the games, the costumes of fairies,

The sideshow’s secrets, Tricks of the stage,

Magical acts with birds and blades,

The merry go round twirls and twists,

A hundred balloons tied to your wrist,

Flying away, deep into the night,

Open your eyes fill the dark with light,

A thousand stars shine,

You then I know the worlds mine,

Feel your feet hit the ground,

Take a ride on the merry go round,
