Red Heart Balloons

Sitting on a bench one day
looking up at an azure sky
I did see red heart balloons
as they slowly drifted by

Crimson kisses among 
clouds like cotton candy 
Bouncing over green trees
and beaches golden sandy

Dipping down in the wind
they danced atop lilac trees,
then rose again in splendor,
blown by a gentle breeze

What hand had loosed
this treasure into the day
Some lover who wanted
to give his heart away?

I longed to gather them,
return each and every one
they were beyond my reach
as they soared toward the sun

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
