Your words send me down
like a hot-air balloon
that has received a burst of cold air
-towards me

I will not let that happen
The road block of reality
will send you in a detour around me
-away from me

The only thing that can be brought down are my tears
and they need to be down
-away from me


I want to rise
to find the hot air to lift me off the salty ground

I will have to find a new source of energy
i used the last one up

You have the right idea here, Laura, no need to be around someone who makes you cry.

Up, up, and away! Breathe in fresh air and sunshine! No more proverbial lead balloons in your life!

I like your way of thinking! You go girl!

Love and Light,

Earth Angel
