Floating Balloon

I am a floating balloon
My string filled with fragrances of different places,
of muddy mountains and of deep waters 
Every day my yellow meets the yellow of sun
Every night i change into the moon like a ghost
The air within me, makes me stand, makes me stay
The air around me shows me the highs and lows
When an awestruck child looks up to me
i maneuver and make him laugh, make him happy
Some tap and push me down into the dense well
Some give me a new direction with a sudden blow
When i am full of air, i arrogantly reach the point to burst
Other times wind makes me run away, far away
Always getting out of one circle, only to get into another one
Endless circles, there is no pause, no halt
Choosing individualism, choosing loneliness
Never lingering in one hand 
Alone, I make, Alone, I break
