A chapter in the book To Cherish Thorns

Seeking The Shine

by michaelcahill




the carousel slowly turns
 

easy access
falacious colorful fantasy mounts
await a willing rider
children of all ages
find a cushy satin saddle
 

ponies with wings
unicorns with blaring horns
securely fastened
strapped in tightly
the journey begins
 

the envious throng
crane their necks
keeping an eye
on their lucky traveler
smiles saturate sensibilities
 

Satan polishes with panache
anticipation feverishly grows
he extends his hand
all grab for the
shiny brass ring
 

the carousel slowly turns

             the carousel slowly turns

                          the carousel slowyl turns
