The Old Carousel
Off in the distance
it silently sits there,
the music is gone now
laughter of children is nowhere.
It rusts in the rain
beyond the growing pines,
grass grows tall around it
it's being overrun with vines.
The old carousel stands
in the big field alone,
awaiting children to come and play
animal faces are as cold as stone.
It wants to be ridden
the music needs to be played,
just one last time, it cries out
before it completely disappears today.

I had this idea pop up in my head and had to run with it.
