Balloon
January 22, 2016
I watched my balloon
float far away;
up and up above
the trees that sway.
It soon floated right
out of view;
My balloon had dreams,
so away it flew.
It went straight up,
left, then right!
The wind pushed it
out of my sight.
I fear I shall not
see my balloon again;
My poor balloon
was my only friend.

I wrote this after releasing a balloon into the sky. It reminded me of being a small child and becoming sad when I accidentally let my balloon go.
