Calliope whistles and
the music plays.
Children race
to claim their steeds.
Painted favorites are
galloping and keeping time.
Sliding on their poles while
going up and going down.

Lonely, I stand
in a row of black ponies.
My legs are bolted to the floor
and I'm unable to run.
Wishing I was a painted favorite,
going up and down with time.
Longing to know
that I really matter.
Yearning for someone
to show me that they care.

Secret mysteries,
I dream each night.
Discovering the voice
of wisdom within.
Listen to your heart and
believe in your hopes.
Celebrate
the magical surprises of life.

Special purposes are
designed for your creation.
Fulfilling the plan
only you can do.

Afraid of
the up and down, painted horses.
A little girl rides a black pony
that is standing in a row.
