From The Top Of The Ferris Wheel

11.5.2018

 

Feels like I’m riding a Ferris Wheel

With its neon night lights

Spinning throughout the night

But where will it take me

Never take me anywhere

But back to where I got on

Then into another line at the Fair

And that’s how it feels…

 

Fair

 

Back where I began

Only now made aware

Of the much brighter lights

I should reach for out there

Thanks to the height of the Ferris Wheel

Thanks to the night

The night from the top of the Ferris Wheel

 

Feels like I’m riding a Ferris Wheel

But it’s not from the safety

Of my seat makes me feel

There’s more for me in life

Than a gerbil in a wheel

 

Then it stops at the top

So close yet so far 

But I swear I can plot

My name in the stars

Trace my name through a constellation 

Of stars

 

For a moment

Stuck with my head in the clouds

Dreaming of my place in the stars

But I’ll never get there

Driving Ferris Wheel cars

 

At the hands of a wheel

When I need my hands on the wheel

 

A slight jolt and I’m back

Though I’ve never gone far

Remember right where I’m at

Stuck in a Ferris Wheel car

Now I’m on my way down

It always lets me down

Back to where I got on

Then on to another line at the Fair

And that’s how it feels…

 

Fair

 

It’s up to me

To reach for the stars out there

It’s on me that I chose

Just a line at the fair

So I leave the Fair

Off to write how I feel

Thanks to the height of the Ferris Wheel

Thanks to the night

The night from the top of the Ferris Wheel
