Look up at the sky
Feel the rain on your skin
Watch the cotton wood
Dance in the wind
Watch it swirl in contrast with the night sky
How it stands out against the black
Illuminated by the carnival lights below.
Pay close attention.
Soon the cries of excitement
Will fade away
And you'll forget you were ever on this ride,
And you'll drift off
While the world spins around you.
But, sadly time will seem to slow,
But in fact,
It's just the ride coming to it's stop.
But not to worry,
To return to this freedom,
All that needs to be done,
Is look into someone's eyes
Feel their gaze as you pull them closer,
And watch the cotton wood
As you softly slip into bliss.
