Air Balloon Festival

Drifting away...
Ageless
Careless
Weightless
Worriless 

Hopeful
Colorful
Playful
Dreamful 
Just drifting away...

No secrets
No fears
No tears
No pain
Drifting away...

Just a seed
In the air
In rainbows
Flying with hummingbirds
To our secret place

No human knows
Kites are lonely too
Strings do break loose
From shoreless blue
To drift away...

Rain that never comes
Souls that never show up
Pennies that drop in unexpected places
Flameless  candles
Drifting away...

Very nicely images painted with words, Iolanda. I particularly like the part about worries drifting away. Nature is so healing... as the hummingbird must surely know. Smiling, Dane Ann
