The Key To Door-Less Skies

He whispers at winds whistling shrill,
coaxes, begs them to lift higher still

above the clouds that fragile friend,
a jewel floating at the end

of his sky-string, swimming it seems,
across drowsy ripples of his dreams;

it shimmers, fades into thinnest air,
melts away out of sight, but still there,

and, for these earth-bound, bleary eyes,
the kite, a key to door-less skies !
