Carnival in Rio

A frenzy of colors,

Scents and sounds,

Adorn vibrant sidewalks,

Covered in flowers.

Divine beauty,

In all shapes and forms,

Dances life away!

Chanting entrancingly,

In gratitude and awe,

Nostalgic music of the past,

While bright, blue waves,

Harmoniously crash,

Against the majestic rocks.

Following true passion,

The essence of this rite,

An ancestral melody,

Finds extraordinary sight,

Colorful splendor bathes

In the indulging aura,

Of triumph and light.

It is a fairy tale,

A striking display,

Of love, unity, and praise,

A permeating revelation

Of true delight,

An epiphany way of life.
