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.”
