Carousel Poem by Paula Puddephatt

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
