The Seasonal State of Life

the world's eye

they dance through the neon lights illuminating the fairgrounds,
the fry-scented air electric with excitement.
hand in hand, prattling away, oblivious to the people amongst them.
they wait in the lines, singing along to all the songs the rides play,
smiles never leaving their faces.
as the night slips away,
they reach their final destination.
extending above the tree-line and looming over the whirling rides,
she keeps a watchful gaze.
the guardian of the fair, the world's eye.
they mount one of her gondolas,
sitting across from one another,
admiring each other's beauty in the rainbow light.
as the giantess's clockwork cycle circled them to the top,
they realized everything in the moment was perfect.
