A Mylar Moment
by Kristina WoodhillMylar hearts are after me
Upstairs, downstairs, teasingly
Once paired with lovely flowers blooms
This once bouquet invades our rooms
They really were a warm and fuzzy treat
White curly ribbon ties undone
A celebration come and gone
Brought to us by the local
Big box store just down the street
Helium (from underground)
Mined to make these red hearts round
Defying gravity, unbound
(trivia my man gave
from his most amazing mind!)
Weeks have passed
Theyre still around
We cut the ribbons finally
Sure they would sink
That we would be
At long and last and blessedly
Red balloon heart free
And yet! They float!
With freedoms glee,
A brand new lease
Unleashed, you see
Up to the ceiling, merrily
The stairwell calls out breezily
A crispy crunchy crackle
That our young cat loves to rattle
Though her claws just cant quite
Clutch and pop
To do the job
I just dont have
The youknowwhat to do
Today I think Ill beat this thing
Its time to try
A brand new string
Ive looked at this, I see, all wrong
Its time to write a better song
With fresh new ribbon tied with care
This bright enduring love Ill share
Our neighbors doors would look so bright
Heck, better yet, Ill share tonight!
You know I think theyre all so swell
Ill tie them there
And run like hell!
