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
