Entrance
Again creaks open the colourful gate
The box hums to a cheerful prance
While all around the dark joins fate
On arid vasts in fatal dance
Menagerie
With the wild chase cross deserts and woods
Under the sea and cut through the clouds
Tossing and turning and laughter and burning
In a time of beautiful new and boring known
All darting senses on vivid strange dreams
Till eyes fall on the lamb and they fall on the lion
Void of everything but wonder
A young soul opens and offers pure passion to all
Brass ring
Our candles flickering seized by the spin
Childish dreams torn over thrones within
From peaceful love lasting longer than we
Springs ever a sparkle of hope for me
King horse
Then one day all the wonders would cease
In displays and labels behind glasses to please
The conscious masters are destined for keys
To a world unfolding piece after piece
So gallop along in holy crusades
Act in your favour with flowers or blades
Steer clear of sentimental charades
Know right and know wrong and no other shades
Chariot
Op atop the coach and two
Racing over charred earth
Surveying all things bound in rule
The earth and people as his tool
And nothing but an aged fool
Yet still perhaps someday a man who'll
See the world for what it's worth
Embracing nature life and you
Jumper
Wise heart which now the willow brushed
By love and reason sometimes hushed
It lived and grew in entropy
Defying deformed symmetry
Where soul and body break their join
And no one's longing breaks the tide
On eyes once restless rests a coin
For the next elating ride
Exit
Thus is the way we all come and go
Many in strive of gain and success
Yet crown they will only remorses and woe
With a wish to have treasured more and less
