To draw the updrafts into melody
Our hands entwine the ribbons of felicity
Sky bound, in yellow orbs of breath blown sound
So light, the feelings crowd inside expanding sight
As if to lift us from confusions rawhide strain
Up we go to hitchhike to another plane

And I would tie this ribbon round your heart
To let you float to sights remote where visions start
As certainly I too attend the rise implied
So light, these feelings full of hope inside
And giggling to tug your shoes from earth
I cling the slip of socks and shake the clouds in mirth

Yet could you still contain the noise, restrain with poise this smile?
Our chariot today, of basket woven hay, sightseeing promises in footloose style

What a wonderful feeling this poem gave as I read!  I enjoyed the expressions and could hear the music softly playing as you touched the strings!  Excellent....~S~

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life

Ah, making me think of balooning, something I've always wanted to do.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
