A Kite

A Kite by Weston Gregory Gamed and played, swift to flight a kite outbound disengaged from gravity's might A laughter of sort at least a smile that by and by we can untangle humanity's plight By swish and swirl and crazy hoops a kite lighten burden inspires hope on journey not new yet, ever changing when life's wind blew until all's but distant sight, held by cords and glue Above horizon daunting for me and you but, a cinch for a kite with faith inbrued a chime to dance the rhythm which nature taught true.... w. gregory

Wonderful metaphor Weston. Also a fun game in real. My brother used to take them for me but I loved chasing along behind him - he was an expert pilot :) Thank you for sharing these wonderful poems. Alice

Nice life lesson from a kite. And guided by a master hand the kite can soar free and high and dance beautifully.
