Rhombic paper-mache of dreams
Dancing aloft in wind currents.
Undulating in the infinity.
Conquering the crested iris.
A distant silhouette
Tasting the skies,
Inspiring to look
Further and higher.
Tangled reins
Locked in trance.
Behold! Their rhythm,
Ceaselessly goading.
The unruly stringless wanderer
Scaling the silver skylines.
Skilled hands mastering
The string, now loose, now taut,
Willing it in to a smooth glide,
Urging and encouraging the flight.
Wide-eyed innocence
Mesmerized,
Their young beating heart,
Reaching for stars,
Untiringly, chasing the kites.

My brothers made kites, but they were not paper-mache. they were of thin paper.

DeleteTasting the skies....great line♪ http://lauriekazmierczak.com/the-knack/
ReplyDeleteI love flying kites but don't get enough opportunity to do so. Hoping our first grandchild who is due in a few months will enjoy them when he/she is older and then I'll have the excuse to do so too.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an awesome plan. Enjoy the grandmotherhood to the fullest.

I've never been able to fly a kite.
But I felt like I was with your klever words!
