Silver Balloon

[Lulu]

April 12th marks the fourth month of the passing of the man I spend a brief time with. It was a wonderful relationship as new relationships usually are. Being with him even if it was a short time was wonderful. And his death turned my life upside down in ways I would have never imagined. All the beautiful emotions are left inside with no one to share them with. Felt as if I was left standing in a dark hole. I blinked my eyes and he was gone. So many plans left undone. So much pain left inside.

Every twelve of the month I release a single balloon with a note attached. April brought a Silver Star balloon. It was a windy day in Los Angeles and the sunset rays hit the balloon as it flew up high. It felt soothing it was peaceful, help release some pain.

Silver Star

A silver star balloon was April's pick
I stamped my kiss, tied my warm note
set it free on a sunny windy day
to commemorate your memory.

The rays of the sunset shinned the
balloon as it went up high heading
east. I could see it glow like two
little eyes blinking goodbye.

It was soothing to the heart to see it
fly! See it free! Dancing with the wind.
Heading east as I use to be, it knew
exactly where you lived.

That's very nice Lulu. Sometimes it doesn't take much to soothe the aching heart.

The picture came out a bit bigger than i expected. Thank you Chris it actually doesn't take much. Its something I recommend to anyone trying to heal the pain. Watching it fade away in his memory was amazing.

What a nice idea!  I know when my mom passed in February, my nieces and nephews released balloons the day of her funeral service.  It is very symbolic.
