balloons

the times that slip
are lost

chance and fate move on to greener pastures
sunnier streets
higher climes

and leave me
in their rising shadows

gazing at what i hoped
drift off
like a balloon let go at a fair -
it's bright color fading into black.

This is a beautiful image. Sad, but beautiful. I really enjoy reading your blog. I like the way you say things.

Perhaps you need to dawn a pair of wings and take flight through the house. Just because. You have a couple pair readily available....
