Skyfilled Balloons

Sky above is filling with darkening clouds
Brown grass crinkles beneath each step
Cool air thickens as my soul it enshrouds
Onward I walk as this date must be kept
I grip tightly the reasons for this trip
Ahead a spot that holds great promise
Releasing, I watch them fall drip by drip
Aware they will force me to be honest
Looking down, surrounded by a black moat
Empty balloons filled with lost hope and sorrow
Picking one as the others chant a hurtful gloat
You can erase yesterday to find a tomorrow
I press it/'/s edge to my lips and exhale a blow
Amazed it/'/s black belly begins to slowly inflate
Changing to colors as it/'/s skin stretches to grow
Each puff of breath decreasing my soul/'/s weight
I blow up each balloon scattered upon the ground
Liberating the sealed vessels into a clearing sky
Upward their colors dance to my freedom/'/s sound
Flitting among the clouds as they wave goodbye
Smiling, twirling along with their glorious prance
My heart becoming lighter as my soul finds release
Through their flights I/'/m given yet another chance
Skyfilled ballons carrying me towards life/'/s peace
