Balloon
All in a golden afternoon, under the skies of cloudless blue.
I search the sky to see a balloon, that I must pursue.
I found the balloon, caught in the branches of the old willow tree.
I hummed a tune, whilst climbing the branches before the balloon began to flee.
I let it go, into the golden afternoon.
But even though my spirits were low, this was not my final balloon.
