15 inches Refined Paraffin Blend Lightly scented with Jasmine Made after a special visit to the Circus The Clowns Painted smiles, a crooked grin,A world of whimsy hides within. With crimson cheeks and eyes so bright, They dance beneath the circus light. Their hats askew, their shoes too wide,They trip and tumble, side by side.A honking horn, a burst of flair,Laughter echoes through the air. But behind the mask, beneath the guise,Linger secrets in their eyes.A fleeting joy, a shadowed pain,The painted tears that fall like rain. Balancing on the edge of jest,They give their hearts, they do their best.For every laugh, they pay a toll,The hidden ache within their soul. Yet still, they leap, they twist, they play,Chasing sorrow far away.For clowns, with courage to confide,Are poets of the brighter side.
