Mid-Laughter and Lights

The flickering light as if fireflies' laughter echoes the summer air. Rides spun dizzying merry-go-round! Can't wait for more minutes ahead. A thrill to feel is here to stay around. Sweaty palms with ticket stubs hold, With sugar thrill laced in fingers unfold. Plastic pouches filled with goldfish, plushies all around soon waiting for your sure win! Come on, let's join the night of bliss. Each booth--a doorway to memory, in twilight and at the break of dawn. The fun, the joy, and the laughter that tangled and lingers within- everyone's open to take part in! The Ferris wheel held stealth on its own-soft and thin and neon lights' shimmers begin! I sniffed the scent of popcorn everywhere, lemonade, soda, snow cones quench our summer thirst. Cotton candy coils in colors and flavor bytes. Lollipops and popsicles in pure delight and a sugar snack glowing under a neon light. Explore the vibrant beauty of the night---- Invites! Music bustled throughout the stands! Neon pulses, roar of mirth in rhythm. Outsiders meet at the carnival. The night is cloaked in its glow, its magic starts and widespread sparkles! Children screeched on spinning rides, Hearts pounded from time to time. Teenager glances on a date-- blush shared shy rhyme.as they walked by. Adults sing and dance; cherish their moment with pride! Here comes the giant swing, open for the world's glimpse for free. As if it can reach the sky and touch the stars as it moves back and forth. Kids, teenagers, adults - everyone's witnessed. In the gleam of lights with laughter in the glee of the night. Nobody would scape the funfair at midnight delight! In a moment , mid-laughter and lights, the night feels boundless, full of love!

This is a fave for me, Rowena. Images of my past mingle with a mythical 'Gatsbyesque' atmosphere.... Except I don't want to pop the bubble that contains it all. Thanks, gw

Thank you so much, Gershon! I love that Gatsbyesque vibe you picked up on—dreamlike, glowing, just out of reach. I'm honored it stirred memories for you. Let’s keep that bubble floating.

"The world is free to see the giant swing, as if leaning on the sky and touching the stars. For a moment, mid-laughter and lights, the night feels boundless, full of love!" -- Transcending. All of joy and love captured in a moment. The heart never entirely forgets. Lovely read. Thank you for sharing.

There is a melancholy feeling when just 'for a moment' I felt the pleasures; the winning treasures of a carnival, trinkets and such delights we'll always remember. The imagery really makes scenery come alive, Rowena! Enjoyed__Anaya
