Lost In Flight
. for public domain
One balloon burst in flight,
leaving this child sullen
throughout a hopeless night.
One balloon loosed its tether,
leaving this child to wonder whether
what lands it may fly to,
what storms it may endure,
what people will look up and smile
at the sight brought to them from beyond,
. . . and other things, I supposed.
I had a busy night ahead of me
contemplating the possibilities.
