merry-go-round

~ Jason Kanz

sometimes
pondering the world
leaves me breathless
and dizzy

verdant immensity
stretches out before me
and a vast sea of blue
holds its place
above my head

planetary
merry-go-round
spinning faster
than any carnival ride

is it any wonder
that I am filled with
butterflies and laughter
as I hang on
for dear life?

One thought on “merry-go-round”

  1. Thanks Jason,

    I loved the “hanging on for dear life”.

    Blessings on you.
