The Balloon

Sometimes,
She feels like
A beautiful balloon,
Colorful and energetic.
But, not really the filled portion,
The mouth, the lip, the start.

Most times,
She feels like
The neck of this balloon,
Stretched so filamently
Thin, she�ll always be less,
The start will never mouth the end.

Anytime
She feels like
A beautiful balloon,
Floating into synergy,
She �pops� herself, in the neck,
And lets the full portion drift away.

Have often felt like baloon parts, but I could have never come up with what you have put on paper. An outstanding piece of work...
even for a master like you. Very good reading and mulling!
