Park of Life

It’s a scary place out there You know that too With people wearing masks everyday Living a masquerade ball Ceaselessly The colors never fading The ringing always staying But I stop in my steps At this crazy amusement park Taking in all the glory and the grotesque The neon lights on the teacups Going round and round Keep spinnin I shout Spinning around the sun And the moon And back Repetitively Don’t stop Let the memories keep runnin on the tape The year has been long, my friends How have you been holding up? Can’t help but looking back to The was been’s, the had been’s, the happened’s The particles of sand fell with no delay Still continues to run its course Whether one can keep up with it Or not I screamed in pain His hand in mine Tightly grasped Never letting go I am lost I am free I am in pain I am in ecstasy A glaze of calm Coats my eyes The dimming excitement of youth But nothing can be done Perhaps I will get my sight back Hopping in spontaneity Ever so hopefully Enjoying every ride on This so called park of life
