The Written World

If 

I should write

a red balloon

and let it fly to you,

life's anchors cannot
weigh it down,

not if the color's true.

so write a stream of  fireflies
to light my way along,

and I will conjure up a tune 
to blend in with a song

spin out a skein of silver threads
to macrame a swing,

we'll hang it from the Milky Way
and write ourselves a fling.
