White summer dress in
the soft morning light.
Bold vibrant colors
anxious cries of delight.
She spins through shadows
dancing with balloons.
A transcendent spirit
her faith subsumed.
A cloudless blue sky
and the rush of hot air.
Earthly tethers release
at the county fair.
They slowly ascend in
the waterless sea.
These shiny bright orbs
are finally free.
The cameras click as
the ritual unfolds.
Crowding the sky
with translucent souls.
And the woman in white
feels redemption at hand.
As the risen fade from view
dancing to a new land.
