“In Our Hot Air Balloon…”

Author’s Note: This is a Take Ten to Write story and has not been proofread for errors. If I feel inspired or if there’s interest in the story, I’ll post a revised, edited, and extended version at a later date. Happy reading!

Drifting over a restless field,
Wind pushing us forward, pulling us back,
Tearing us between future and past.

Time doesn’t stand still,
Time moves too fast, moves too slow,
Anything but what we want.

The horizon drops,
As do our hearts, as do our hopes,
The wind picks up.

It still can’t decide,
If it should go forward, go backward,
We decide instead.

Down we go,
Spinning left, tumbling right,
Into the vast unknown.

Final Comments: To be honest, I’m not really sure what this one was about…
