helium angels

helium angels

 

 

falling upward

you caught my floating heart

punctured it,

i crash landed,

survived

but with mass injuries

praying for the guts to fly again.

The saying, 'pick yourself, dust yourself off and start all over again'. applies here. We cant be the loser and admit defeat...like a trouper/ a survivor we have to call on our morale and get the helium back in the balloon and rise like the Pheonix!

Heartache
And crash landings in life
of trying to protect the delicate
package of our heart seems
hard to put back together.

Nicely said my
friend very wise
And beautiful.

It is so hard to put yourself back into the world after experiencing a hardship but it can be done. You will certainly fly again!!

This reminds me of a ' Lucy in the sky...' style of animation painted with Mastery of words

It takes a while, after that unintentional nosedive, to work up the courage to try again. The damage done can be almost insurmountable...somehow we survive...to get up on the horse again.

A good one

Oh my goodness, the imagery here is so vivid. That floating balloon receiving a cruel puncture, and the subsequent fall out. What a way to describe rejection. Magnificent. What have you been eating? You are on a roll at the moment.

This short allegorical poem with impact reminded me of the book and film 'Enduring Love' by Ian McEwan. There is a scene when a man falls into a field after hanging on to a rope attached to the basket of a hot air baloon. I also had visions of the picture by Banksy of the little girl and the heart shaped baloon floating away from her. Very powerful little write Jacob.
