Balloons represent transience, childhood, celebration, but also something more. Their smooth surface reflects a world at once distorted and beautiful. They symbolize the striving for heights, the lightness of existence, and the fragility of hope. These poems are an attempt to capture the fleeting beauty of the ethereal spheres, their quiet philosophy, and the unexpected metaphors they offer our imagination. Allow yourself to momentarily escape the mundane and soar with them.

First ball
In a child's palm is a bright circle of sun, hanging on by a single thread. And the world around seems so deaf, Only joy flows like an unearthly song. It reaches for the heavenly blue, As if it wants to fly to the stars. And something quietly whispers in the head, About the happiness that is so easy to see here.
Echo of the holiday
A faded ball, pressed to the ceiling, Preserves the silence of joyful days past. It remembers laughter and a wave of joy, And the sparkle of lights, And so bold glances. Now it's just a fading greeting, From a holiday that has sunk into oblivion. But a bright trace remains in memory, And a light, airy line in my soul. And it seems that in the silence of the night, It whispers tales full of miracles. About time that rushes after you, And about the love that gives weight to life.
Fragile peace
Within the transparent shell lies silence, And a soft whisper of air, barely noticeable. Like a fragile world, it is so tender, And awaits the moment to become immortal. But if you press just a little harder, It will burst with a crack, Taking away joy. And before you can even comprehend, How the moment slips away, Like the dew melts. And in this moment lies the entire essence of earthly existence, Transience, beauty, and pain. And the understanding that lost peace, a bygone role cannot be regained. And all that remains is to sigh that everything passes, like water in the hands. And remember the airy, light sleep that dissolved in the morning rays.
A look from the inside
Through a film as thin as the first snow, the world seems different, a little funny. And every sound, and every person, are filled with some new dream. Inside the sphere is its own universe, where gravity doesn't play by the rules. And it seems that life is so changeable, and everything around is just a ghostly distance.
Colorful dreams
Red as a poppy, and blue as a dream, Yellow as the sun, and green as grass. They reflect all beauty, And youth that is forever gone. They float like bright comets, In the space of childhood joyful adventures. And poets give us moments In which our days come to life. And I want this moment to freeze, So that the balloon doesn't burst, the joy doesn't fade. So that love lives forever in the heart, And life becomes a beautiful fairy tale for us.
Air Wanderer
The balloon tore itself from the child's hand and flew off, wherever the eye could see. It soared toward distant sands, where clouds soared like swans. It saw towns and villages, and rivers glittering in the rays of dawn. And faces full of hope and faith, and the whisper of the wind in the poplar crowns. It was as free as the elements themselves, and knew no fear, knew no vanity. It simply floated, like a light fairy tale, meeting a world filled with dreams. But then the thread broke, and peace overtook it in the heavenly heights. And the balloon dissolved above, leaving a memory in the children's hearts.
Reflection of the moon
A silver ball in the stillness of the night, Like a shard of moonlight on the earth. It reflects the souls of stars, And secrets hidden in the gloom. It beckons like a mirage, And promises a fairy tale and peace. And in that moment, like a mirage, A vague call is born in the soul.
Glass captivity
Inside a transparent, fragile sphere, the world seems so distant and alien. And as if behind glass, as if in amber, the days stand still, and time lingers. It reflects the world's light and shadows, and distorts forms, creating a lie. But in this false, ghostly picture, there is a beauty that cannot be found. And I want to break it into pieces, to set this world free. But fear paralyzes, like a misfortune, and quietly whispers: "Don't wake that feast!" For in this sphere lies the fragility of existence, and the realization that all will pass. And all that remains is to watch, without speaking, at the world that is forever frozen within it.
Lightness of the morning
In the rays of dawn, like a pearl, it soars effortlessly, untroubled. And the world around seems filled with hopes that lead us forward. It reflects the blue sky, and whispers tales of morning dew. And gives us a moment in which our dreams come to life.
Forgotten holiday
In the attic, in dust and darkness, lies a forgotten ball, its appearance faded. It remembers laughter and the joys of dreams, and a holiday that is long gone. It was once bright and sparkling, and brought joy to everyone around it. But time passed, and it faded, and lost its former beauty, loving. And I want to bring it back to life, fill it again with air and light. But it is silent, and this is its funeral, for the past that was gone forever in the summer. And all that remains is to sigh for it, for the ball that holds dreams within itself. And remember the happy, bright day when it was a symbol of love.
A look into the void
A transparent sphere, as if made of glass, within it there is only emptiness and shadow. And it seems as if time has stood still, and no answer can be found on this day. It reflects only its own boundaries, and does not allow one to see the world around it. And in this moment – all the faces of the earth, hidden behind the veil of eternal torment.
Rainbow Prisoner
Captivated by the rainbow, like a fairytale dream, it reflects the world in all its colors. And it seems that happiness is all there is, and there is no room for sorrow or fear. It beckons like magic, and promises a fairy tale and peace. And in this moment, as if triumphant, a vague call is born in the soul. But one only has to touch it slightly, and the rainbow disappears like smoke. And all that remains is to sigh, wake up, and realize that the world is not so simple. And in this moment – the fragility of existence, and the knowledge that all will pass. And all that remains is to watch, without speaking, at the world frozen forever in a sphere.
Last breath
The balloon deflates, losing its shape, And with each breath it grows weaker. It is like a symbol of life that flies, And fades in the bustle of days. It remembers joy, laughter, and merriment, And childhood dreams that flew away into the distance. But time passed, and withering came, And all that remained was pale sadness.
