Martin Creed- Work no. 202

When are you walking
Through a sea of 20 000 black balloons
You may feel small
Yet infinite.

Images of self surrounding you
And multiplying you
And if you are happy,
Then they are happy.

Losing concept of space and place
You be ever present-
In a moment
That may seem dark
But in reality
Leads perfectly to light.

You are there.

Just as I am feeling sad and lost
You pick me up with gentle hands
And show me how you care.

Just as I find myself falling into darkness
Your light pours over the world
And shows me the brightness I could not see.

Just as I can't seem to find the words
You guide me to truth
And let songs be sung to share
How much I love you.

Just as I need you,
You are there.

Just as I miss you,
You come to my side.

So when I fall or can't find my way
I picture you
to bring warmth to every day.
