Brown grass crinkles beneath each step
Cool air thickens as my soul it enshrouds
Onward I walk as this date must be kept

I grip tightly the reasons for this trip
Ahead a spot that holds great promise
Releasing, I watch them fall drip by drip
Aware they will force me to be honest

Looking down, surrounded by a black moat
Empty balloons filled with lost hope and sorrow
Picking one as the others chant a hurtful gloat
You can erase yesterday to find a tomorrow

I press it/'/s edge to my lips and exhale a blow
Amazed it/'/s black belly begins to slowly inflate
Changing to colors as it/'/s skin stretches to grow
Each puff of breath decreasing my soul/'/s weight

I blow up each balloon scattered upon the ground
Liberating the sealed vessels into a clearing sky
Upward their colors dance to my freedom/'/s sound
Flitting among the clouds as they wave goodbye

Smiling, twirling along with their glorious prance
My heart becoming lighter as my soul finds release
Through their flights I/'/m given yet another chance
Skyfilled ballons carrying me towards life/'/s peace [comments] => 2 [counter] => 208 [topic] => 48 [informant] => dvtpdw [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry ) Your Poetry Dot Com - Skyfilled Balloons
