Floating

"I'm everywhere; I'm just a soul that's floating around here on earth."
Lauren Jauregui

I’d love to be floating without a care -
drifting to sky in a giant balloon -
gliding with breezes up into the air
pretending I even could touch the moon.

In and out of scenes Mother Nature weaves,
I’d love to be floating without a care
drifting like autumn’s most colorful leaves
round trees, over meadows, in skies so fair -

When life gets to be more than I can bear -
like twigs being carried down cool fresh streams,
I’d love to be floating without a care
or lifting off ground as I’ve done in some dreams.

To be like birds effortlessly gliding
winging my way as I live on a prayer.
How nice to be on swift currents riding.
I’d love to be floating without a care.

You have imagined a quixotic situation. It will be so pleasant to float in the blue on a balloon so weightless without a care. A beautiful quatern and a well deserved win. Congratulations dear Andrea.

What a great idea. How I miss the sea. I would float there forever. Not in sweet water though. I once tried in a pool and found it exhausting. To float in the sea is so exhilarating as you so well wrote. And how I admire the ease of rhyme when you write these poems. Hugs xx

I’ve tried a float tank a few times. I thought it would be claustrophobic but it was the exact opposite. The complete darkness’s made me feel like I was floating in outer space.

Wouldn't we all like that feeling/s of freedom from time to time. I hope your situation is much better now with everyone's health. I know there has been a great deal of stress on you and your whole family in the last few weeks. Thanks for sharing this one with us. If for a contest, it reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Thank you for your visit to my page and the nice review of my work. Sara
