Balloon Poem by Eleven Lin

On a fine afternoon, I sit on the balcony,
Looking at the deep clouds intently.
You and I travel in a balloon, flying so high.
And the rainbow appears in the sky.

We wander freely like a breeze,
Wondering the secret of the universe.
Somehow I'm moved by this wonderland,
But I just too shy to hold your hand.

Forget all the troubles and sorrows.
Say farewell to the boring days.
And then, the desert in sight-
Will become the oasis in mind.

Sands of time goes by, silently.
The breeze touches our faces gently,
Which makes our heart beat so fast.
It's a rhythm that will ever-last.

Together we can see the splendid setting sun.
The fireworks redden the sky just for fun.
I can see the love light in your eyes,
And I wonder whether you realize.

The scene moves me to have a strong will.
How I wish that everything could stay still.
At the moment and in the balloon,
Just you and me, what an afternoon.
