BALLOON FLIGHT DREAM

Imagine
Just Imagine
Feeling behind the preparation
Thanksgiving destination
Morning rise
Dreaming being an actual balloon in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
Held high by volunteers
No soar
Entertainment for sure
TV Camera lens, the focus, the movement throughout
Being the “POETIC REACTION – WORDS RESPONSE” balloon
A first, and certainly no last
Maneuvering overhead as spectators observe
A difference and joy approach
Through the Thanksgiving breeze
Winds that blow
Caution in being slow
Leading the way down the New York City streets with Santa’s arrival at the very back in parade finale
Kids wonder in captivation
Above all joy
The smiles and the laughter
Surging opportunity
The rush of unity
One’s own balloon dream
The thought in what it would seem
Asleep in the dream mode
A story tale Unfold
Awakened from sleep as if the dream was real
Feeling like a movie stream
Anticipation
One day
Who know?
It could become reality
In the meantime, let’s commence the parade
Sponsored by Macy’s made
As the British put it, “UP AND AT IT”.
