I am the red balloon you let go when you were young. You walked around with me tied to your wrist for what seemed like years but was only hours ... The sky so big and blue , calling to you . Telling you to fly. But you, young and afraid could not. You gave me a kiss , the sun checked it's reflection on my surface, and you cut our ties ... Letting me go forever. As you watched me float away past the clouds you hoped someday you would see what I saw , go where I went. Beyond gods eyes . Just a red speck in the Sky to most, to your eyes all hopes dreams and possibilities. A simple object defying gravity, refusing to be weighed down, to heed its call.
I would love to read what that balloon happened to see and if it did come back to earth, where did it land or who caught it. Did they also kiss it goodbye?Did that person wonder where it came from and did they know what it was because maybe it landed on another world.....
