love circus by Mary Frances Spencerunder
the big top
hope gracefully crosses the tightrope
faith swings trapeze
while clowns and lions
jump through flaming hoops
into funhouse mirrors
the magical beyond paint
above the velvet tent
outside cages
tonight
sun and moon
will
spin together
and sprinkle
star sequins
that never fall
but sparkle
shimmering skies
the celestial
love circus
shines
forever
