Life Is Like a Maypole

Life is like a Maypole

I close my eyes and keep on turning
The sun out shining and burning
Getting hit by the yellow rays
During those warm colorful days

The smell of the fresh green grass
There is no better time pass
Being young, free and careless
Roaming the world fearless

Opening my eyes to a bright blue sky
See the birds flying high
White clouds moving in silence
Everything in perfect balance

Letting go of the balloon in my hand
Going up like something grand
Till nothing but a red dot appears
Leaving for different spheres

Feeling my lips curl into a smile
Thinking back once in a while
My heart warming and longing
Going back and prolonging
