Shiny and new,
Blue.
Held so tightly,
It flew, on release -
To the heavens
- Escaped -
To the freshness of the air
It blew forever onwards
Up and away.
Out of sight, out of mind
Over hill and dale.
On a journey to something new.
It drifted low over landscapes,
Green and fresh.

Dancing with skylarks in a park
Dipping down over cool lakes and dashing rivers.
Up stream - to be bounced high.
Riding on the tide of the air.
It faired well.
On its joureny to a bright tomorrow.
Baking in the sunlight,
It glistened and shimmered -
A million miles from its starting ground.

Still going strong,
It took in the sights.
Felt the lightness and brightness of heavens space.
Up here it's beautiful, crisp and clear
- Freer and freer -
Moving on, it blows higher and higher.
Reaching for the light,
Feeling bright,
It bursts into shimmering delight.
