Dark Purple Balloon

The balloon that floats
High

In the sky, up into the
Stratosphere, is too far
For even your high
Horse to reach.

In the dark purple balloon,
On

Faded papers that ink
Bleeds through, are the
Written versions of your
Lack of faith in me

Helium sphere, out of
Your

Reach, will touch heaven
Above, and our Maker will
Read of you from my balloon,
And reach out his hand

The balloon forgotten,
Doubts

Manipulated into truth,
You use the Maker’s hand
To point a finger at me, retell
Your low expectations

And I will cry, “Oh
Dear Father,

Why?” You will answer
For our Maker, you will use
Him to pop my balloons, make
Me ask, “Am I good enough?”
