100 balloons drifting up idly in the air without time to spare.
100 balloons tied upon paper through which goodbyes are spread at the end of a thread.
100 balloons brought up with acceptance through their journey to deliverance.
100 balloons we rely on to free our minds of moments we've known have gone by.
100 balloons of fascination, all of different emotion.
100 balloons of love to be read from that someone above.

At my sister's funeral, we did a balloon release. That was two years ago, I don't know why I just got the idea to write about it, but...I'm happy with the result.
