DELIGHTS OF CARNIVAL NIGHTS
Carnival nights make the child-in-me
delight vibrantly in freedom bliss
bask unmindfully midst colors of varied hues
create magical time of beautiful wonders
transforming chaotic world into marvelous haven.
Awesome kaleidoscopic moments
grasp me around engagements, indeed radiant
midst life turning oblivious from grim reality
bringing sheer laughter of amazement-joy.
Viewing the sights at exuberant perspective
carnival attractions invite
me toward attentiveness-bliss
joining rides midst efforts, actively alert.
Of course, I'm warned about untoward incidents
admonished against accidents for my prudence-readiness
so in roller-coasters, I ardently exercise ardent grip
conscious of not falling, fainting, then awfully frustrated…
since such feeling can haunt with despair.
In carnival moments, I thank God
that nothing slips from His care
surpassing fairy’s magic wand
as He never needs one
with His tight hold, securing me
protecting serenely always.
Freed now from such delusion, there’s bouncing up
actually, letting me go forward… pressing on
yes, carnival exposure is a blessing
since I have learned great lesson…
… faith-bracing with jubilation
allowing the child-in-me to plunge with glee
into truth’s fantasy, sans fear.
