The Balloon

The Balloon


I wanted to leave Earth

I wanted some headspace

I wanted to enter a race

I wanted to travel back in time

Travel with leisure and beauty

Take our time

Saviour this pleasure

Drink champagne and eat Fortnum & Mason hampers of such extravagance and decadence

I wanted to see the beautiful silk coloured balloons in their full glory

I wanted to feel the heat of the gas

That makes each balloon bloom

I wanted to stand in the casket

Feel the brown basket

I wanted to feel the strong winds

These balloons travel faster than I think

I feel the great force of the winds

We travel in cotton like clouds

In the deep blue skies

The sun almost in our eyes

We are so high

My head now dizzy

I take deep breaths

I feel sick and yet exhilarated

Zaps my strength

Miles above the Earth

The fields, seas, forests and roads

So tiny to me

They could almost fit into a doll’s house

It just bends your mind

This amazing sight

Being in the balloon is just wonderful

I really wanted to take you on my wild adventure too

In this wondrous beautiful balloon
