Without a String Premiere Contest Winner

In one grievous gasp Slipping through a gaping hole My heart took to the air Bruised yet numb With weightlessness Like a runaway balloon Without a string Suspended in flight Adrift at the whim Of a carefree breeze No rhyme or reason Hovering as if to meet The clouds or the moon A freedom with no direction Resigned to what will be AP: 3rd place 2025 Submitted on August 31, 2018 for contest EARLY SEPT 2018 PREMIERE sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 1ST
