Got in one one time. Got about 20 feet in the air. Told the pilot, 'Put it back.' When asked why, my response was, 'There is way too much air under me and the ground.' Haven't been in one, since. LOL

look down
& the ground
rivers into motion.
am rooted in place by
fear.  the sky cannot
help - it's beyond
my control - i'm
on my own

Life is like that much of the time; inbetween. In the balloon you know you gotta come down sometime; but in life one could stay in that inbetween or "purgatory" state indefinitely.

This is a good poem,I used to went up on a balloon ride and it was an amazing experience.I went on it last summer.At first I was a little bit nervous,but once I was up in the air and see views of the city skyline and Central Park,it was priceless.The balloon didn't have any hot air.It was made out of heilum.I enjoy the ride.I'm sure you enjoy it even though you was scared which is understandable.Take good care of yourself
