Merry go round
Until we go down
Spinning top
Boring a hole in the ground
Throwing pieces
Pieces that were me
But I’m not sure if they fit anymore
Ripped to the side
The side of reality
The side that was a dream
Or a nightmare
Merry go round
Until we go down
Spinning top
Boring a hole in my heart
Rip away the façade
The shell I used to protect me
But in reality
It only hid me from what’s good
Truth
Shoot me straight up
Catapult
Burst into the stars
Orbit
Flying free
Being me
Serenity
Merry go round
Forever I’m bound
To the truth of my soul
To the beauty of my journey
To the peace in my heart
Free
Eternity
Blessitude

Thank you my dearest! Sometimes we need to “jump off” the spinning merry go round of life…and analyze where we’ve been…what direction we are going in. It never ceases to amaze me that I can believe I am so aware…and then find out I have changed directions! I am back on track…and I thank you for always being an immense source of strength for me! I ❤ you…and send my very best wishes! ❤ ❤ ❤

First off – YES, I am on a binge reading spree on your blog! And I loved reading each one of your beautiful work, Lorrie. 😀
I have doing this a lot lately because I just love how many different feelings your words can make my head, drift into! Magical! ❤
This one caught my attention the most because merry-go-rounds are always so fascinating, right? The way you've used it is exquisite! When i read "Boring a hole in the ground" I literally felt goosebumps! Such was the feeling, really. It's so exhilarating to almost experience the transition from melancholy to the resonance of calmness in – "Burst into the stars Orbit Flying free Being me Serenity".
Wow wow wow wow, I'm truly honoured to meet such poets as yourself, my friend. ❤
Peace and prayers. 🙂
