Postcard from The Circus
Picture the clown
with his silly frown
upside down
Picture the big cat
that docilely sat
as you gave it a pat
Picture the main ring
where the bearded lady will sing
the unicorns, risen at dawn
will trail a rainbow on a string
Picture the strongman
holding a child's hand
when everybody just ran
Picture the journey
that involved you and me
Picture the empty seat
Now picture the chaos
the emptiness of loss
all the glamour and gloss
Picture the heartbreak and joy
see the little boy, with the toy?
It's the one thing he don't allow
others to destroy
Picture waking at dawn
understanding in a yawn
nothing will be different this morn
Picture this, the colours are wild
life is more difficult to adhere
Picture the difficulty of this postcard
*Wish you were here
