Red Balloon**

**I just fancy to turn into a flower** To blend in the wind With no worry to what Life has arranged **I just want to be the wind** To dance and chant And furnish them The tang of those tears That had once been Soothingly down your cheek **I want to be the tears** So I can stop The running I will be elapsed In the river's dust **I want to be the river** So I can get my life away To the end of the rainbow And were the sun sinks **I want to be the sun** That Lusters down And give the spotlight On a red balloon **But for now** I will be a balloon Unfilled, but free

Smile~I really enjoyed this well thought out and written write of Yours~For it spoke gently and dreamingly~Within soft tones, as that of a red balloon floating within the peaceful air~without any worries and without any cares! A write which could bring calm to a troubled soul; if even but for a moment in time...."Excellent Poem My Friend"...."Love & Warmth Always To You & Your Loves, John!!"~"Have A Very Beautiful Day!!":) Bye ~

WOW! This is a marvelous poem, Sajdah. This puts me in mind of some Buddhist or Indian fancy, and oh how I love those simple utterings. Love, daver
