As from the earth the light Balloon


As from the earth the light Balloon

Asks nothing but release --

Ascension that for which it was,

Its soaring Residence.

The spirit looks upon the Dust

That fastened it so long

With indignation,

As a Bird

Defrauded of its song.

 

---- Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
