Balloons

Lose yourself in the skies...

Yellows, reds, pinks and greens
Have adorned the sky today
Light spirited, happy and free
With the winds they soar away
I grab onto one of the them
Wishing they take me somewhere new
With eyes tight closed and bated breath
A wave of mine bids everyone adieu
Down below I notice a melee
Hustling through the busy streets
I smile above and continue ahead
Dancing to the wind's rhythmic beats
My ears sense the soothing sounds
And my heart enjoys the beauty
They take me to a scenic place
The only escape left for me
Bestowed with the gift of flight
My friends hear my happy screams
The very sight of balloons make me
Lose myself into thoughtful dreams.

the imagery and words almost elevated me as i read this, your words are so well chosen and the final two lines really encapsulate the narrator's carefree emotion throughout!

If only balloons could take us far from here! I could see all of that happening in front of my eyes. Got a great view of the earth from above. A bubbly, cheerful read. Well done!
