Finding solitude on life's midway. (Form: Triquain Swirl) |
Respite Popcorned air seems to lift my scarred chair, swaying to a garish Midway beat, far above my daily cares and oppressive heat. My world dissolves in a blur of light, an island of delight, of respite. Then, my illusion ends as once more reality transcends, its interminable cacophony once more lets sadness, tears, laughter, and joys roar. I embrace all of it, for respite is not lost; it is found, as life's wheel travels once more around exclaiming its journey into a dark unknown. Armed with assurance that I have grown. I welcome, without care, popcorned air. An entry for Day 12, "Invalid Item" Theme: Solitude. Setting must be in on a carnival ride or at the circus.
