" THE KITE"

With

bounding

silence atop

the clouds I fly

and reach toward the

heavens aloft, Like the

goddess of freedom, I wander

above the earth and am awed with

beautiful splendor at the dreams and

hopes that are being painted beneath me

I watch and marvel at these deeds and

so I climb higher, hopping to snatch

a broader glance . But suddenly …

I must stop! I’m free no more.

I’ve come to the last inch of

my string and I can’t climb

anymore. I am restricted

to only a small area in

space , unable to work

toward achieving my

aims and goals . I

then look back,

and I sense

faith and

I sense

love
