Ever wonder why a carousel holds our attention far into adulthood?
Is it the exquisite craftsmanship that is put into each part?
Is it the memories of our youth, of joyous times?
Could it be something more meaningful yet, something we don't see?

The way the animals go up and down.
Does it remind us of our lives?
The ups and downs representing our joys and troubles?
Or perhaps, that time keeps spinning on.

Do we find something hidden in ourselves?
Does the mythical animals dancing before our eyes, remind us of long ago times?
Times when we were carefree and young.
Young enough to believe in those mythical creatures.

Could the glorious spinning ride touch our hearts?
Helping us to find something lost in our lives.
Letting us touch upon the unreality that keeps us sane.
A glimmer of remembrance to ease the glare of reality.

Dragons, unicorns and horses all dancing before us.
Creatures of all shapes and sizes passing by.
Spinning a web of mythical dreams and memories.
Filling our hearts with joy and hope.
