Carousel

around and around

on the carousel

spinning

around and around

merry-go-round

multi-coloured dreams

vibrant darkness

the colours of confusion

around and around

the endless circles

cycles

horses longing for

the wild

longing to run

far away

leave this fairground ride

of psychedelic craziness

behind

to feel their manes caressing the wind

their spirits embracing the speed

the freedom

around and around

endless cycles

on the carousel of dreams

[Chasity Fannin]

Very lovely poem, Paula. I have often wondered if the horses wished to be freed.
