I have managed to set a new record

for the longest ride on the merry go round

it wasn’t my intention but here I’m found

and I’ve had enough and it’s time to step down

it’s impossible to be settled on the merry go round –

often I would catch glimpses of things that caught my eye

but understanding and comprehension both take time

and opinions that are formed when you are whirling around most are unfounded because one isn’t on solid ground

 

I should have departed many years ago but habits can quickly take hold …. So one isn’t able to see the things I longed for we all passing me

so I waved to the attendant that was fast asleep and frustrated I yelled and he woke from his sleep

As he got closer to hear my request I was taken by surprise and nearly fell off

As he got closer I could see……the attendant was laughing

the attendant was me

the merry go round slowed to a stop

i got down and barely could walk ….I shook his hand and the two became one

and I am no longer a captive of the ride I was on

life was meant to be lived one day at a time and not as a ride on the merry go round
