Rock-Solid Float

With you on the Ground…
And I floating…
Every once in a while
A breeze lifts me
The clouds hide me
The sun warms me
And you tug on my
String and I join you
On the ground
Ever so briefly
Until there is a reason to float
Even for a few minutes
Do not let go
Of my string
My arms kite-spread
Thinking I like this
There would be nothing
But a floaty feeling
Nothing to keep me here
If you weren’t there to
tug me down
A raindrop splashes on my cheek
You tug me away
Before the
Downpour hits.
