Whispers of Thrills

The rusted Ferris wheel, a skeletal hand, Points to a sky it can no longer command. Once, laughter echoed, joy on the breeze, Now silence reigns, whispered by the trees. The carousel horses, their paint chipped and worn, Dream of merry-go-rounds, of days yet unborn. Once, children squealed, clinging to their steeds, Now shadows dance, where happy laughter bleeds. The cotton candy stand, its windows cracked and dim, Holds the ghost of sweetness, a forgotten whim. Once, sugary clouds, a magical delight, Now only dust motes, swirling in the light. The roller coaster track, a metal serpent curled, Whispers of thrills, a forgotten world. Once, screams of delight, a dizzying race, Now only rust and wind, in this silent space. The park stands empty, a monument to time, A reminder of moments, once so sublime. The ghosts of laughter, echo in the breeze, Whispering of memories, of happy, carefree days.
