To me, the earth is like a merry-go-round…

To me, the earth is like a merry-go-round…
Filled with colored horses going up and down, round and round…
It looks good because it is good…
As it spins 1037 mph around its axis.

With miles of rejoicing streams…
Violet morning mists…
Bark, branch and needle…
What’s that smell?
I think it is a ladybug.

This world casts a soft glow around me…
Making me shine…
Making me less and less afraid…
As we circle around one more time.

Of course there is also sadness…
So many people whispering words that are just too hard to understand…
What a hodgepodge of signals this world gives…
Worst of all…
There is a never-ending supply of the lonely…
That is why I have been put on this planet…
To rest on the laps of the broken hearted.

Now the sun is passing over Asia…
Crossing the breach until our noses touch…
Stretching its rays into the bright blue…
Good morning, friends!

I love you,

Annie
