a large bunch of purple balloons

loosened by an unsure hand

scatters in the wind

like a cluster of seeds

freed by the will of a breeze

they are all set into motion

indiscriminately

thumping around bushes and trees

shooting around and below me

watching them fade

and disappear into the distant horizon

a fun sight

since I live way up

with a great view

I left my room for a few moments

and when I return to look out the window again

the strangest thing had occurred

all the balloons were there

formed back into decorative cluster

of pulsating balls

gently hovering above the ground below

looking like a giant plastic dandelion

once again they released from the ground

upward and upward

passing by my window

clumped together

reaching toward a break in the clouds
