Bright Red Balloon

Ode to Innocence...
Bright red balloon
How you soar and fly?
Your beautiful color
A little red dot in the sky...

You are the sole source of color
In a world of black and gray
You look neither left nor right
But make your own way.

Bright red balloon
Nor hail or rain or the blackness of night
Nor snow or sleet or the shadows behind
Nothing can dim your tiny red light...

This world is made of needles and glass
This world waits for things to destroy
Whatever you do, bright red balloon
Don't let the world take away your joy.

I've wandered near and far
I've wandered through the sunny days and endless nights
But I'm never afraid and never alone
For I know you'll be my guiding little light...
