The Upside to Being Down
The Ferris Wheel circles
through vibrating air,
rising into skylines,
into harbours and cityscapes,
into puzzles of sky and cloud,
caught in a jigsaw of
steel cables and rocking carriages,
moods dissipating
like burnt off fog,
children rising into laughter:
and the day holds so much more
in the palm of its opened hand.
