Call of a Balloon





Light and colorful
 Going higher and higher
As high as I can
And still further….
Nothing holds me
In my single minded pursuit
…. to reach my highest

No looking back
No holding back
No intentions to return
My let go is complete

Reaching higher
I will disappear,
Clinging not

Hearts looking at me from the ground
Connect with me

Some smile, some sigh!

Thanks for the creative prompt. I like the idea of "hearts watching from the ground" in your poem.
