Balloon
January 26, 2016
Forgotten,
a balloon drifts
into uncertainty—alone.
For the entire world to see,
It’s beauty on display, but no one notices.
The higher it flies, the more its mind races.
As the ground evanesce,
the earth slips from its grasp, ultimately vanishing forever.
By no fault of its own it is drawn to a massive palisade of clouds.
As it’s journey continues, the light of its totality is revealed.
Rising towards the heavens, it surrenders, accepting its undeniable fate.
“POP!”
