Hanging On For Dear Life

A gust caught a giggle Scooping me up above the tree line where the hot air balloons live And the clouds play tether ball Scattering the stars Catapulting around Saturn Hanging on for dear life As the dragon kite skimmed and skirted me back over the dewy grass Dropping me like a note into my dreams
