Roundup

Relics of bygone days were they,

But who was the seeker and who was the prey,

Thought to bring happiness, laughter and joy,

But if left without bonds, the light they'll destroy.

So I found a keeper for those yesterdays,

Went to the circus and was shown the way,

The task complete, the keeper spoke from within,

I gather them in; I gather all of them in.
