Oh how I wish this wind would stop!
Leaves flying about, high in the air
My balloons, try to take me, please don’t pop!
I could wind up anywhere!
Streaks from the sky, a sunbeam escapes
It’s so annoying, the constant glare
I keep moving, back and forth I traipse
But the sun doesn’t really care
I guess I’ll have to hold on tight
Let the winds take me where they will
Drink in the sun until it is night
Then I’ll complain about the chill

Yes, it was very inspiring, Dorinda. I saw myself flying around and seeing the beauty beneath and feeling the freedom but also the danger that comes with it.

I love that, Erika! I wrote it from the little girl’s perspective, but I can definitely see it from the balloons. Thank you for that!!

It holds both… actually I saw it from the balloon’s perspective but felt it like that little light-hearted girl. It is a wonderful poem, Dorinda!
