Poem: About Balloons
He asked me to write him a poem about balloons.
I said, “What about them?
Their defiance of gravity?
Their vibrant colors against the dullness of the sky?”
His reply:
“If you could, write about me as a balloon.
I know that it’s impossible,
But I dream that I can fly.”
I gazed into his eyes,
Which, in turn, met mine.
I said, “You believe that you can’t
Because you haven’t dared to try.”
He asked me to write him a poem about balloons.
I said, “Why about them, when I can write about you?
You, whose laugh conjures cotton candy among clouds,
Your heart the gleaming sun that brightens up my life.”
