Hot Air Balloon
My soul floats ascending like a hot air balloon
Faster and faster till the earth looks like the moon
Places and people fade like black holes and sand dunes
My body is undone.
The air is silent in peaceful high afternoon
My brief stay in the sun.
God takes a siesta while I am in a swoon
I recall nothing for my life was o'er too soon
Having passed on at three.
God have mercy on young souls grant us your boon
We elevate to be free.
Higher and higher we rise up your paens to croon
The air is getting chillier like the back of a spoon
Hot air and light are we wispy wishful balloons
Borne aloft in joy.
Our parents cry loudly they are deaf to our tunes.
We are sailing ahoy.
Terribly bright tonight this side of the dark moon
Reborn in fresh garbs new we shall descend too soon.
Meanwhile effortless we float trailing bright festoons.
we are trust's buoyancy.
Incarnadine sunset skies a fiery spitoon
Love, hope and faith are we.
