Carousel ~ Bryant Park, NYC ~ 2011

Photographs and film clips
tender memories like the ghost
from a child’s nursery rhyme,
carosello of love spins round
rose petals mixed with babies breath
a touch of lavender
sentimental scents fill the air
with translucent images
soundtrack background
a rhythmic loop that stirs the soul
continues to sing sweet songs
on a high love holds true
and ready while the sun
remains faithful to its intent
– rising
same place
different time
day after day…
