Turn the Flame To Maximum
I boarded my hot air balloon
And set my sights on high,
I turned the flame to maximum
And headed for the sky.
Below, the land receded
As I joined the mighty blue,
The sky was my ocean,
Heavenwards I flew.
Earthbound things now disappeared
I embraced serenity,
As I sailed the atmosphere
Contentment called on me.
Alone, but not lonely,
Detached, but still aware.
Truly I'd found heaven,
As I drifted in the air.
