Desert Dawn in a Balloon

Sky View and Thoughts

We floated high in morning's glow,

Above the sands so far below.

Arizona’s desert, vast and wide,

Bathed in gold at sunrise tide.

Beside me sat a nervous soul,

Clutching tight to keep control.

"I won't look down!" she sternly said,

Knuckles white and cheeks all red.

Yet as the colors filled the sky,

A spark of courage lit her eye.

She took a breath, she faced the view,

And laughed, I guess I kinda flew!

Through fear and awe, we soared so free,

A sunrise ride, just her and me.

And when we touched the earth once more,

She whispered, “Let’s go up once more.”
