As A Balloon Passed By

As A Balloon Passed By

A Poem by Courtney M Watson
"

holding back the fray of mind. I was always a dreamer, never taught how to open my eyes.

"
I never had a sense of self.
Never--
saw the horizon.

Kicked my shoe
through forgiving mud.
Never thinking
maybe...
there could be consequences. 

Always jumping
before I thought.
Never
holding back the fray of mind.

I was always a dreamer,
never taught
how to open my eyes.

Hard to do both.
"I was always a dreamer,
never taught
how to open my eyes."
Sometime open eyes stop us from dreaming. But we need to dream. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
