I'm trying my best I really am
to show you how to clear the wall
the one that divides
the one that's between
the one you can't help but stall then steel
I've pulled the string
and ran like the wind
but still you dangle and dawdle behind
what can I do
Oh yellow balloon
to show you how it's never too soon
hard to know what's on your mind
when it's you that should float
and me be earth bind
I won't give up though you lie on the floor
grounded you may be
but I'll feed your flight more
perhaps some more string I'll try to unwind
a little more slack
will maybe remind
what a balloons got to do
then some steam you may find
Jump like me
with feet in the air
so then together that fence we'll both soon clear
.... Up and Away

smooth. Interesting how the speaker considers the situation as mixed up and expresses empathy for the balloon. Well done challenge response.

smiles. i like this, not giving up on the balloon and encouraging it to remember who it is...i think we all need that...
ReplyDeleteWon't give up, won't give in..."won't give up though you lie on the floor." Beautiful creation - emotional and warming, trying to pump an uplifting note into the sunken balloon, an image that serves as a fine metaphor for other as well. Sound reply to the prompt.
ReplyDeleteFun, smile-inducing work.
