I will float away from you
Trust me, I will
Once the string that keeps me
Tethered to your wrist
Becomes too weathered to last
Frayed and unwinding
You'll let this balloon go
Disappearing
Into the cloud-filled sky
A balloon, lost in the wild blue

First I must say I love the metaphoric quality of this piece. It is beautiful read aloud, it flows well, it grabs you and does not let go and you can FEEL it all so acutely. This s fantastic poetry in my eyes.
