He Dreams

He dreams of the carousel at the park Excitement stirs, as only friend, First Bloom Released like he, gambols on the boardwalk Arabian, garden wild, hooves steel dark Marvelous pals sport at sea and embark Surmount rings of parents, music, and reins Unlimited awe in each nightly lark Pony’s spin Earth’s sphere, owing Rory’s smirk Under foot worries sleep, light pleasures spark Cloud steppes guide this parade of pageantry Rivers down, ribbon’d mares unfurl from work Jaunty hymns spiraling, a ceaseless cirque. 4.6.2020
