This heart is the cart
before the horse

leading the mind
helpless

like a child caught
in a whirlwind swept
balloon

looking
praying

hoping

for a soft place
to land

I love the sharp brevity of this very poignant piece. The form of the poem speaks as powerfully as the content. Thank you, Martiniat8.

A tender poem. How fragile young feelings and dreams are. It's a shame that growing up destroys so much of those.

so well written,

like a child caught
in a whirlwind swept
balloon

looking
praying

hoping

for a soft place
to land

thanks for the hopeful words
