Red Balloons

You see balloons flying in the sky.

Blues, whites, yellows, Greens, and Reds in the sky.

All the colors are in the sky just like a rainbow.

There are balloons everywhere in the sky.

Flying alone in the sky some are in groups while some stand alone.

Rare events for children who don’t see balloons in the skies nowadays.

Quite ordinary for us when we were children, rare event for children of today now.

The skies are filled with balloons now.

The empty skies waiting to be filled with rays of the sun.

The skies are still hopeful of the rays of the sun.

The adults who are once again have been reminded of their childhood years. The blissful years of their life.

Seeing the balloons — A fragment of memory resurfaces.

The passerby used to stand with his grandparents to get the balloons in the ice creams shops. He remembers, how he would be joyful only to get the red balloons handed by his grandparents from the shop while he gets his ice cream.

Now, the memory is long gone just like his grandparents who are no longer alive to oversee his journey.

The memory resurfaces whenever he sees red balloons. The same red balloons of red color.

Now, the little child in him has grown up. He gets balloons for his daughter and sons now. Only to create memories for his children now. To remember him like he remembers his kin.

The memory has faded along with the memory of grandparents. Only the fragments of memory remain.

The skies seem lonely without rays of the sun. The balloons add shine and color to the sky.

Balloons have played a key role in the life of children.

They still do when they reminisce about the good old days.

The red balloons of color are still flying in the sky.And becoming a memory of others' childhood days.

Fin.
