The Sojourn Of A Balloon. Poem by Ravi Panamanna

She now rose into the sky
And vanished among the clouds.
She now floated in the air
And sailed unto umpteen dales.

Over the bridges and hedges
It was an endless flight.
Past the rivers and forests
She picked up greater heights.

The wind carried her on the lap
The clouds kissed her coloured frock.
The birds followed her course
And chatted with their newly found friend.

The sun, the moon and the stars
All greeted her in pleasant surprise.
She stopped nowhere for a moment,
She had miles and miles to go.

Finally she landed on a tree top
The leafy branches prepared a silky bed.
There she slept overnight
The forest played a solemn note.

Morning greeted her in pleasant mood
Wind was whispering so gentle.
The branches swayed a little bit
And she left her pleasant retreat.

She now left her mountain inn
She now flew for further dales.
She is now on timeless sail
She is now on endless trail.
