Balloon

I watched a pink balloon float up into the night sky tonight. It seemed to follow me for a while, drifting above, beautifully contrasted against the blackness around it. I told THEGIRL that perhaps it was going to la luna.

[For whatever reason, she only knows the Spanish word for “moon.” She’ll say it and then defiantly add, “That’s MY luna!”]

And I wonder where that balloon is right this very moment.

I hope it went somewhere beautiful. Safe. Where there is no pain, nothing to detroy it or control it. I hope it flies free forever, or at least until it is ready to stop.
