Balloon Ride

The gold ball roars
as I add to its
power.
I'm lifted off the
ground
steadily,
when a bag of sand
is
let go.
Then I sit and
watch
as the earth
grows smaller
before my eyes.
I can see the
entire
string of sapphire
leading into the mass
of emerald trees.
I pear at the others
all around me.
They, too,
are in
awe,
adding to thier ball.
The brilliant shapes swell with
the heat of
the gold mass.
I travel through the
sky,
my carrier
becoming my only
companion.
The never ending
colors of the earth
stretch on
and
on.
My companion and I
smile
as we
follow the colors.
