   This poem reminds me of the buddha who advises that we wear life lightly, like a cloak that we cast off when we’re done.

   Because all too soon the ride is over, and nothing is left, this poem adds the dimension of how we can choose a beautiful, colorful ride, or dull and boring.

   Nice poem – gorgeous photo

   That poem was a wonderful ride full of smiles and light of heart. Closed my eyes and enjoyed the Calliope music, colors, lights, breeze of the endless circle and the reflection of life in the Merry-go-round mirrors.

   Ah..my dear friend you’ve capture the fact that the ride is short and filled with deceptions and distortions…but one must hop on and enjoy the ride…because at the end of the ride whether you’re on board or not…the ride is over….other fine poem.

   An interesting thought well conveyed, Moon. I like the idea of just letting the ride be… well, a simple ride. Nothing more needs to be invested in it than that. Kind of like living, perhaps?

     I would have to agree – kinda like living

   You set such a frantic pace with that first stanza. Kind of like zero to 60 that soon settles with the momentum. Great theme too.

   Wonderfully written Leslie and love the imagery. Never really a simple ride, and then the knowledge of that sudden stopping point. I like the sense for realization and then just saying, well whatever, lets just make this fun, it is what it is. Beautiful in my impression!
