Dizzying Carousal

Somehow, beyond this crumbling garden wall

we see the world through the same colored lens

You laugh like a child and I spin in circles till I fall into the earth

I am falling into you and I am not afraid anymore.

You say that life’s a musical and I know I can’t dance

but I am not longer paralyzed

On opposite sides of the carousal, I can’t see you

nor hear your voice above the daunting melody

When will the ride end?

Questions fade when piercing blue destroys every sensible notion

I have forgotten how to exhale

You’re a mystery with one missing clue

Someday the sun will rise just like any day

and the clue will be whispered

and I’ll know

I’ll just know.

For now, I content myself to play this game of make believe

where you rewrite the cranial script and unwind the plot

until the happy ending is resolved

and like the lightening striking at that moment when

We have pushed aside all wonder and awe, we make sense.
