On the Air Balloon

Up on the windswept vale
Touching the elusive rainbow
Gliding with eagles

The dark gale with fury blew
Air balloon danced, swept down
A tangle of strings

A vivid image you have painted to share with us, Tahera. We have all seen balloons getting tossed and tangled in wind, but you describe it so well! Great poem, my friend. Peace and blessings, Carolyn
