paper lanterns
drifting gently in the clouds
a fire in its heart
and no agenda to acquire
paper lanterns
like the snowflake being ploughed
am unassuming work of art
only aiming to fly higher
paper lanterns
silently finding its way around
far from the place it found its start
to the unknowing, it's a wild ball of fire
paper lanterns
a simple way to get word out
a tender display of a loving heart
with desired destinations to aspire
paper lanterns
quietly flies till it burns out
falling slowly, till it rests, miles apart
its golden silty ash, lover inspired
