Nightmare Circus


 

 

Hark!  My angel

Won’t you come

Witness your dreams

Perish, undone

 

Through the maze

A clever escape

Beyond the quagmire

Your nightmares await

 

Flying Rabbits

To raise the tent

Perform the Hair Hang?

They’ll circumvent

 

Find the Harpies

Watch them swing

Try it yourself

Reclaim your zing

 

Burn the chainsaws

Catch the skulls

Juggling Dragons

An act to mull

 

But don’t be scared

It’s fun you’ll see

This void of darkness

Is full of possibility

 

So claim the stage

Ringmaster you’ll be

The fountain that fuels

This artistry
