The Balloons of Colossus

The Balloons Of Colossus Balloons abound in the surrounding heights Colossus Grande stands in marbled grandeur In splendor as majestic figures stretch on columns Statues firm with fingers pointing up Balloons are targeted for pleasure Children’s smiles follow them along horizons gold Eyes pop, mouths make the letter O Green and red ride between the yellows next to pink The dome around the Earth is round and framed In a bubble made of solid indigo Remains the same again, against the color blue And to that end Hides the floating orbs against suns morning glow Balloons have nowhere else to go but up Winds stir them about as they grow smaller There next stop is beyond horizons as they rise Above Colossus out The atmosphere sees to that Where they never stop
