~ the Carnival Ride ~

Oh probing hearts.... How you long for these things Reaching toward the stars Holding this golden lantern Of desires and dreams As if they could ever cure, or fill These wanting's inside? Merely to only realize, again That they are but a fleeting, in time Standing upon the shores, alone Within your searching eye's The sand's beneath your feet Amid a world, wherein You could never find The void that escapes your soul As you close it's opened doors Gazing into the wind While it passes you by What are these treasures that hold? What are these moment's.... Cast among the crowds And never, to realize Oh probing heart's How your lives, and your love Forever, pierce mine! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ The Carnival Ride ~
