I have nothing to say with this “carrousel”... she , Joni Mitchell… told it perfectly… I just… needed to find my soul inspiration for expressing how her song enthusiasmed then… and still is even more vivid and full of meaning.
Would be perfect to see the picture while listeníng to her beauty and heart.
Rosa Cobos

_“Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, when youre older, must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and dawn
Were captive on the carousel of time
We cant return we con only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game.

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
And they tell him,
Take your time, it wont be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and dawn
Were captive on the carousel of time
We cant return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur
Coming true
Therell be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through.
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
Were captive on the carousel of time
We cant return, we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game”

    I remember that song: it was about growing up and going through the cycles of your life. Now here is a carrousel many of us enjoyed during our childhood, but as we grow older “Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town” just as the carrousel was once rode on by many in our generation, but now we are longer riding it so it sits abandoned.

    Rosa, This is a stunning image paired with one of my favorite songs of Joni Mitchell’s written in the early seventies. Carousels are so nostalgic evoking many memories of youth
    as “we go round and round in the circle game.”
