In stately ascendance

They rise above the ground,

Crowned in early morn.

Where are you going,

What are you doing?

This ribbon in the sky

Sans peur et sans reproache.

I watch you.

Author's Note: ...watching some ballons early one morning when I was an undergraduate at LSU... "ribbon in the sky" comes from a Stevie Wonder song..... popular then....
