Carousel

Carousel

You'll hear a child's giggles that haunts the carousel
Through the breeze her emotion runs restless
 the darkness awakens through the flickering lights
A soul is lost but this spirit captivates the aura
breath is given as the sun fades through twilight
Time stands still as she echoes upon its movement
Proud he stands, the white stallion of her choice
Lifelike its mane falls windswept, rampant and free
Through the silence he is groomed for the awakening
Transitioned from the depths her presence mingles
as whispers taunt to guide her through that open door
Dreams that enchanted have collided through death
The moon gives its glow, the falling star an essence
This spark hums through the opera of its stage
her glee dances upon their stillness, 
For the very thing that took her holds eternity
that forever turns the carousel.
