“I imagine a person’s life is like a beautifully decorated balloon, tethered by a
cord to the earth. It is buffeted by every breeze and strains at the restraint with
sometimes-harsh movements. Suddenly, a moment comes when the cord is
released and the balloon lifts! No longer fighting the wind: it is lifted high upon it,
graceful and dancing with heavenly movements. From an earthly point of view it
becomes smaller and smaller until it fades from sight. I fell my loss until I
remember that the balloon itself is not becoming smaller as it lifts, but larger and
larger until at some point it bursts the last vestige of its earthly life and merges
with the highest atmosphere. The essence of that balloon, what made it a
balloon, becomes totally free and part of the air that touches my face, the power
that moves the clouds, even my very breath.”
I’ve done all i can do
Could i please come with you?
Sweet smell of sunshine
I remember sometimes

When the hands reads 7:30 and your night begins to sink in the short but faster fall
In the anxious but calm retort to mirror that frames your face baring the
finest swell
When the day begins to break like the tears that run across your cheek, stand straight and imagine you then
In the things and the way they could have been when the thoughts they race across your chin here in the neverend
