T .f ,... , . of time Absorbed in twirling time, we see the world outside dance dizzily past. No chains, no shackles swing from the carousel, yet escape is as futile as fleeing a shadow. The hypnotizing tune numbs the reality of thefleeting years. All too soon the prancing ponies will slow and grind to a halt. Infant innocence cloaks the beginning ride. Opening days of school, like childhood anticipations, creep in comparison to the rate we would dictate. Expectations and goals crowd into view, while contemplation or even consideration of the present seems trivial. just when the brass ring seems within reach, the carousel bursts into a swirling spin. Deadlines near franticallyg contests jump suddenly into view. In the flashing mirrors, images transfonn before our eyes. More term papers, assemblies and holidays rush past before we emerge from the maze. Quietly we question who stole our youth.

We can 't return Misty memories beckon through veiled illusions, butstark realities ensure no reply. Long abandoned paper dragons and misfitfairy princesses are haunting reminders of the unattainable past. Carnivals and ini tiations ebb into the glass-bubble realm of snapshots and scrapbooks, the only hint of permanency. Proms and parties dance through our minds, taunting the insecurity and loneliness we feel. The dust- buried souvenirs we treasure lend no comfort in returning to the intangible moments. Faces of friends we vowed to keep for life fade beyond recognition in the present, as inescapable fears of the future further dim the lights of the past.
