Lighter than air

     Rocks can float in dreams
         vapor light as a feather
             clouds made of granite

Bubbles are in essence happiness
because happiness is light and cheery
when you're happy, you float and are lighter than air
and though happiness is easily popped
it is always in abundance
so may your happiness outlast these bubbles...

You lift me up 
lighter than air,
All I need?
Is to know that you’re there;  
Helium infused laughter
laced in your arms,
rising higher and higher; 
My little red balloon 
You lift me up 
lighter than air, 
All I need? 
Is to know that you’re there....

The mind drifts
  free-floats gaily
far, far from its moorings
  lighter-than-air

Associations stream
  in-and-out on
ribbons, wisps of lazy strings
  hanging from rose-colored kites

Dark forces loom
  yet undetected
thoughts breathlessly racing
  beyond our tenuous grasp...

Balloons

Round and full,
 Always seeking the sky,
Lighter than air.

Reminders
 To celebrate
Birthdays and birth.

Hold tight the cord - 
 No escape with the wind –
Joy on a string

Bright colors dance - 
 Welcome to happy times -   
Rainbows of laughter

Always young
 Holding a balloon
Smiling hearts laughing

bits of me
lost pieces of you
swept up in an accidental
     gust
that lifts and rises
     drafts and dives
taken on the whim
of the wind
to lighter dreams
     of drifting
     random
earthly bonds released
until the breeze gives way
to calm and
     bits and pieces flutter
down
to meet together
on the ground
to fit together without space
    one soul is born
    by heaven’s grace...

Finding happiness I become weightless;
A giggle? I’m ready for anything, 
even a swan dive off a creaky plank;
An idea with a smile’s limitless,
that intense energy’s levitating;
Whatever inspires me I turn that crank
like fireworks my poetry will deploy; 
Floating on daisies in a riverbank
arms behind my neck I’m lighter than air,
nearby a paper plane called ‘No Joy.’
                 and sank....

When your body tingled, in concert with your mind
    goosebumps flowing up and down your spine
 
  Electricity surging through you
    to fingertips intertwined two by two

  When you seized your partner's head
    locked into kisses, 'twould never end

  And lighter than air your feet swept along
    to the melody of a distant song ... 

  You never pictured the finish line ~
    standing next to Father Time...

Vagabond rainbow,
why can I never come closer?
You move in perfect sync with my footsteps –
ever away.

Come sit by me.
Cradle me in your shimmery prism.
Turn me upsidedown in a smile.

Surprise me with snowflakes in July,
Valentines in October,
PB&J in my lunchbox.

Show me an altruistic heart,
graceful distress,
a voice of perfect pitch.

Lighter than air,
sparkle me away.
Sever these earthly bonds
and carry me to the face of God....

flurries of snowflakes
seem to be lighter than air
defy gravity


flurries of snowflakes
living to float on the air
defy gravity


flurries of snowflakes
yearning to reach for the sky
defy gravity...

Merry sunbeams dance on dust bunnies
floating - lighter than air

Mickey and Minnie tossed
on the bed.
Mickey in a ball like a newborn,
Minnie looking as rag dolls do.

Fixed faces, vacant eyes like glass buttons
that don’t blink
Playtime’s over.

A stray sunbeam lights on Minnie’s cheek.
Blood spatter dots her face like tiny pin pricks.
Were they playing with paint?
It spilled on the bed, ruined Minnie’s dress

Darkness settles in the cheerful light
Dead.
Silence....
