BEAUTIFUL BALLOON EXPERIENCE
by Andy Harley
In the magic of the morning,
Looking around the large launch
field.
Arrays of hot-air balloons inflate,
And their colors are gradually
revealed.
Lifting off in the wicker gondola,
I start my heavenward ascension.
he idyllic landscape soon stretches
out
To a stupendous dimension;
There is so much pristine scenery -
The rolling hills are dotted with
pines.
As the earth seems to slowly rotate
below,
I take in outdoor designs.
The rejuvenating air is amazingly
quiet
Soaring now over some hayfields and
crops.
As I decline back towards the ground
I let my balloon dip to kiss the
treetops.
Oh, what a time this has been;
My Feelings are in complete
commotions.
It's just one thing that cannot be
measured,
By any mere transient emotion. |
