Balloons

ever let go
of the string
of a gas balloon
because you know
it needs to fly,

ever follow
it with squinting eyes
till you know for sure
its gone
gone far away,

ever felt a
twinge in your heart
which wishes
that you were
that balloon,

ever felt
that twinge deepen
wishing you were
another balloon
but tied to that same thread.
