Like a big red balloon your filled with hot air.
Untethered on a string floating up there.
The atmosphere so thin when your that high.
And the people only ants as they pass you by.
Drifting and floating elusive balloon.
Someone's home crying and of need of you soon!!
Like a pinball you ricochet into cloud after cloud.
Avoiding at all costs the gaudy carnival crowd.
Sometimes it's peaceful alone in the sky.
Often it's lonely, being so shy.
Oh balloon, where are you going?
So far from the ground your no longer showing.
Someone slipped and let go of your string.
Where you only a toy, a childish fling?
