Like a Kite

Like a kite

like a kite
we drift widely on skies of life
accompanied by a thread of breath
with a hope that our thread
will be long enough
to sustain our movement

like a kite
we swing in the air of life
in a joy and in a sorrow
enjoy the warmth of the sun
and learn from the power of the wind

like a kite
we do feel the uncertainty
there is a moment when the warmth of the air supports us
with its spirit
then the rain of sorrow come to quell our excitement

Like a kite
Lets always be gratitude
for a thread of breath which is still loyal to accompany us
let us try to see all the beauty, all the goodness

like a kite
let us drift
to the higher and more beautiful sky
let’s enjoy our life space

like a kite
let us show to this beautiful world
all the beauty that we had
before the thread of breath 
is cut down by the wind
and before our wings were crushed and torn by the ages of time
