Carnival

Continue the celebration
And release the balloon.
All this cotton candy
Dissolved too soon.

Worry for something transient
Like the finger to the moon.
The worst of it is over
Like the bandage
Swiftly torn free.

Slowly racing through the years
All this action wears away.
We are still at the carnival
Stuck on the Ferris wheel.

My passion is twirling the wheel.
My beliefs take care of the rest.
Clenching my illusion
Closer to my chest.

Cannot further take heed
So I avoid a little
Vomiting up a fertile seed.
