"I've told my children that when I die, to release balloons in the sky to celebrate that I graduated. For me, death is a graduation." - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

"A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness." - Robert Frost

A Sam Scott poem:

Listen to poem:

Balloons they float Across the sky In rainbow mood Excessive high Intruding birds Like cloudless thoughts With do's and don'ts With musts and oughts Above the trees Rooted, they cheer They dream of floating Far from here The gusting breeze Can guide your joy Away from ground That can destroy The brightest hopes Of friendship's love Enduring winds Of push and shove But bright the sky If dull the heart The journey home.. Yet, first depart From dreamscape fields From comfort clouds To launch away From chains and shrouds The freedom of The endless blue Of eyes and skies So pure, so true

Hi Sam , absolutely loved not only reading but listening to this wonderfully penned poem , a beautiful message flowing effortlessly through. how strange that you should use a quote from Elisabeth Kubler-Ross as I had only mentioned her the other day. This is a favourite for me . Look forward to reading more of your poems. Danny
